Traditionally:65 because for years this was the age social security began and most employers required retirement. However, this has been changing. For one thing the age for social security benefits taking effect is going up.
For everyday use, different groups use different numbers. At Macy's you get a card at 55. My Senior Center takes members at 50. AARP takes members at 55. I can get discount ticket prices at the local university events when I turn 62. It varies.

This depends on what and where you're talking about. The movies consider you a senior at 55. Restaurants dont check.
Social Security says you have to be 65 to collect or 62 if you want a lower amount of money. AARP starts giving out memberships at 50. I'll be 70 in January and I'm still fighting the "senior" brand.

A person aged 60+ is considered as a Senior Citizen. That's all.

According to AARP the age is 55. However, it is depends on who you are asking. Some places that give 'senior citizens discounts', require the person to 60 + or 65 +. So it just depends.

Most places it is 62 but can be between 60 and 65.

60, for most places: 65, for tax people and airlines! "Five years more from my present age, at all times!" for a really healthy, cheerful and mature, balanced person with emotional and financial stability and real capacity to Love the world, humanity!

There used to be a very nice man on here that would always answer that question "10 years older than I currently am". I haven't seen him for awhile.
