Which category of elderly people is most likely to be poor?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the above categories (the "old old", African Americans, people living alone, and people living in rural areas) are at higher risk of experiencing poverty in their later years. The "old old" (individuals aged 85 and older) are more likely to have health issues and require long-term care, which can be expensive. African Americans have historically faced systemic discrimination and disparities in education, employment, and income, leading to a higher likelihood of poverty in old age. People living alone may not have the financial support or resources of a spouse or partner, while those living in rural areas may have limited access to job opportunities and services.
