“The older population – persons 65 years or older – numbered 39.6 million in 2009 (the latest year for which data is available). They represented 12.9% of the U.S. population, about one in every eight Americans. By 2030, there will be about 72.1 million older persons, more than twice their number in 2000. People 65+ represented 12.4% of the population in the year 2000 but are expected to grow to be 19% of the population by 2030.” Administration on Aging website
FYI: May is Older Americans Month (May is also Historic Preservation Month, ummm).
