Do people in NY tend to maintain active social lives later into life?

I’m a 28 y/o living in a mid-sized city in the southeast. Something I’ve noticed (and this is just my perception) the past few years is what seems like a general disinterest in maintaining an active social lifestyle, going out on weekends, etc. that a lot of people here seem to develop in their mid 20s. Even amongst the ones who don’t have demanding jobs and/or families, it seems like most people prefer to spend nearly all of their time outside of work at home (except for date-nights with an SO). People get together with friends at each other’s homes maybe once or twice a month and “going out” is largely seen as an unenjoyable waste of time/money. While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being a homebody, I was a depressed homebody for a large chunk of my life and now that I’m doing better again I’d like to spend more time out enjoying life but it’s hard to find people to do it with. I’ve got family in NY and am considering relocating, partially in hopes of being able to meet more people my age who are also wanting to maintain active social lives later into life. Is this a realistic hope?

Edit: Thank you all for the responses and making me feel less crazy
