Cities with the oldest median ages in Mongolia often serve as popular retirement destinations or established communities with stable, long-term residents. Ulaangom has a median age of 28.3 years.

Communities with older populations face unique planning challenges including healthcare capacity, accessibility, transportation for non-drivers, and maintaining a tax base as the workforce ages. Many are adapting their infrastructure and services to meet these evolving needs.
