Is anyone aware of local area population profiles that focus specifically on the elderly or older population? I have received a data request about this group that covers several subjects. A document of this type might be a good way to answer these and related questions.
Thanks
Here are some federal (but non-census) sources we use for data about seniors:
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – provide county-level data on death including single-year age, 5-year and 10-year age groups, single underlying cause, multiple causes, and demographics from CDC WONDER’s Multiple Causes of Death database.

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) – county-level data are accessible for monthly enrollments in Medicare by program type (including original Medicare, Medicare Advantage and other health plans, Part A, Part B, Part D, and prescription drug plans).

And here is our "master list" (although we don't actually use all of these). This list names the sources (agencies, etc.) but doesn't include table numbers, links, or source variable names. Still, it could be helpful.
