These women were not too senior — their partners are just less senior, as in 
dead.

In cohousing, as the women who are already in cohousing age and the men die 
younger, and then older women move in, the community can quickly become top and 
gender heavy. The problem is then compounded since people like to live with 
people like themselves. Keeping diversity is not so easy.
