Alzheimer's disease is a growing problem across California, including in Redwood City, which has a population of 80,512 residents, 12.8% of whom are aged 65+. The condition affects approximately 690,000 people in this age group throughout California as of 2020, but this number may rise to 840,000 by 2025.
