La Altagracia registers a lower number of senior citizens

The province of La Altagracia has recorded a lower proportion of older adults, with approximately 37,469 residents aged 60 and older living within the region. This demographic reality exists against a backdrop defined by rapid tourism growth, the continuous arrival of domestic migrant workers, and the ongoing expansion of major urban centers.

Despite the province's economic dynamism and development driven by the tourism sector, this older population experiences a less visible reality characterized by distinct needs, notably regarding healthcare access and specialized medical attention.
