Retiree Housing 'Ages' Mt. Lebanon

Having one of the highest median ages in the country doesn't reflect Mt. Lebanon's aging so much as its diversification, Manager Steve Feller said. The municipality, like the entire region, is getting older, but the construction and expansion of several adult care facilities has Mt. Lebanon looking older than it actually is, he said.

"It's not an empty-nester community. It's sort of a combination community," Feller said.

Mt. Lebanon ranks among the top 10 percent of communities when it comes to age and education levels as well as the percentage of workers who are in professional or management jobs, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey. The survey data covers 2,580 communities and includes results from 2005 through 2007.
