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%.
