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 that remains less visible amidst the region's rapid development.

This demographic trend coincides with significant regional growth driven by the expansion of the tourism industry and the influx of workers from across the country. As urban centers continue to grow, the aging population faces increasing challenges regarding access to necessary medical care and social attention.
