U.S. Population Projections for Ages 50+

Viewing U.S. Census Bureau Population Projections for changes and trends in the aging population over the next 40 years is a revealing exercise. The rainbow of lines in the resulting graph represents trends for age groups from 50 to 100+ in five-year increments across the next 40 years, from 2010 to 2050.

Three Notes of interest:

Twenty-six U.S. states are projected to double their 65- and-older population between 2000 and 2030.

Between 2010 and 2035, all age groups 70 and above will increase over 95%.

The Census Bureau reports that La Paz County Arizona — with 32 percent of its population 65 or older on July 1, 2007 – has the oldest population in the U.S. By 2050, the U.S. population of 55 or older will equal that percentage.

Following are projected radical changes between 2010 and 2050:

85-89 year age group will increase 176%
90-94 year age group will increase 275%
95-99 year age group will increase 424%
100 years and over will increase 902%.

Capacity (%) by U.S. Jail Jurisdictions

Worst Words

Natalie: I think its interesting that so many more non-disabled people thought the word "window-licker" was offensive than disabled people. What does that mean anyways? (2 days ago)

grjenkin: It seems a window-licker is British slang. Just picture a kid on a short school bus looking out the back window with his tongue hanging out. I never heard of it before. (2 days ago)

Worst Words by Not
Disabled and Disab..

grjenkin: Both disabled and non-disabled consider retard and spastic as offensive. It appears most non-disabled don't realize the terms special, brave and cripple are so offensive to disabled people. (2 days ago)
