‘Gray divorce’ is one reason behind this big trend in America

The number of seniors living solo has tripled since the 1960s, with 16M aged 65 and above in 2022. A significant catalyst for this is the increase in 'gray divorces' among individuals over 50, a phenomenon that has seen the divorce rate double between 1990 and 2010. As attitudes shift and financial dynamics evolve, older Americans are redefining societal norms, finding comfort and security in solitude.
