Let's discuss the age pyramid among seniors and the age breakdown. Consider a pyramid that starts at 65 years of age and goes all the way up to 85 or 90 years of age, or even older, at the top.

Can you describe the age pyramid for city-dwelling seniors? What's the breakdown by age?

More importantly, can you describe how their needs and issues vary as you move towards the top of the pyramid?

What would you recommend the federal government do in response?
