La Altagracia registers a lower number of senior citizens

The province of La Altagracia, Dominican Republic, currently reports the lowest proportion of older adults in the country. Data indicates that approximately 37,469 residents are aged 60 or older, a demographic segment that remains largely overlooked despite the region's rapid development.

This demographic trend is occurring alongside significant regional growth driven by the tourism industry, urban expansion, and an influx of workers migrating from other parts of the country. Consequently, this specific population faces challenges regarding visibility and access to necessary medical care within the evolving provincial landscape.
