For comparison, and convenient reference, here is a collection of demographic and housing characteristics at the national level. Data pulled as of Q3 2019, reflecting 2000 and 2010 Census data, 2018 Census Estimates (PEPAGESEX), and 2017 5-Year ACS estimates. (Being updated in segments)
Population & Age
| Age Group | 2000 | 2010 | 2018 | 3-Yr Avg Annual Growth Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total | 281,421,906 | 308,745,538 | 327,167,434 | 0.67% |
| 45 to 64 | 61,952,636 | 81,489,445 | 83,904,335 | 0.0% |
| 65 to 74 | 18,390,986 | 21,713,429 | 30,492,316 | 3.6% |
| 75 and over | 16,600,767 | 18,554,555 | 21,938,877 | 2.9% |
| Adult Ratio | 3.7 | 4.4 | 3.8 | -- |
The currently (2018) estimated ratio of adult children (population age 45 to 64) to Seniors (75 and over) is 3.8-to-1 — this has been falling slowly since 2010, and is expected to fall to about 2-to-1 in the next 10 years. This will drive significant shifts in how care needs to be supplied, as this also suggests the demand for *Caregivers* will roughly double relative to all other employment.
