The Elderly Population in every state will grow faster than the total population, and seniors will outnumber school-age children in 10 states in the next 25 years, reports the Census Bureau. It predicts 26 states will double their populations of people older than 65 by 2030, when the oldest members of the baby boom generation hit their 80s. FL, PA, VT, WY, ND, DE, NM, MT, ME, and WV will have fewer children than elderly. Only DC will grow younger. The growth in the 65-and-older population will be about 3.5 times the growth of the nation as a whole (USA Today 4/21/05)
