The Town of Stratham worked with the Rockingham Regional Planning Commission to complete an Age Friendly Communities assessment for Stratham in 2022 and followed up with a Phase II project to create a community Senior Resource Guide in 2023. This project evaluated how Stratham can be more accommodating of, and accessible for, residents of all ages but particularly for the fast-growing population of those age 65 and over in our community. Between 2020 and 2035, New Hampshire's population of residents age 65 and over is forecast to increase by approximately 45 percent. This effort analyzed eight dimensions of Age Friendly Communities, including Outdoor Spaces & Buildings, Transportation, Housing, Social Participation, Respect & Social Inclusion, Work & Civic Engagement, Communication & Information, and Health & Nutrition Services.
