Q. What is a livable community?

A. People’s definitions of a livable community differ, so the most livable community will have options to meet people’s needs, regardless of one’s age, physical ability, income or other factors.

Livable communities must be safe from crime and hazards that can cause physical injury. They must have options for housing that are affordable, accessible and meet the needs of individuals; they must have transportation options so that people can get around whether they drive or not; and they need access to community features, such as parks, grocery stores and other amenities.
