No. 10
Fargo, N.D.-Moorhead, Minn.
Many older residents are employed as a result of a fast-growing job market and small business growth, which is among the highest for small metro areas. The area offers lots of cultural and recreational activities, such as museums, theaters and YMCAs, and strong funding from the state aimed at services for the aging population. Volunteerism rates are also high. But living options for mature adults are lacking, a low number of home-health care providers, and specialty care is limited.
