Here is how MI drew this conclusion-The overall composite rankings for 2014 "Best Cities for Successful Aging" are based on the same eight subcomponents that were scored in 2012: general indicators, health care; wellness; living arrangements; transportation/convenience; financial well-being; employment/education; and community engagement. Each subcomponent is scored according to multiple individual indicators. Across all eight, we used 84 individual indicators, up from 78 in the 2012 report.
