La Altagracia registers a lower number of senior citizens

The province of La Altagracia, Dominican Republic, currently reports a lower concentration of older adults compared to other demographic groups. Approximately 37,469 residents aged 60 and older reside in the region, representing a segment of the population that requires specific medical attention and social support.

This demographic trend occurs against a backdrop of rapid regional development characterized by significant growth in the tourism sector. The influx of workers from across the country and the expansion of major urban centers have reshaped the province, leaving the needs of the elderly population as a less visible aspect of the area's ongoing socioeconomic evolution.
