Michigan has 14th highest percentage of residents aged 65 and older

by Sheri Jones / Jan 19, 2021

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) Michigan has the 14th hightest percentage of residents aged 65 and older out of all the states nationwide. In fact, much of the country is graying as more Baby Boomers, who were until 2019 the U.S.’s largest generational cohort, reach retirement age. The Boomers—more than 73 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964—began hitting retirement age more than a decade ago and will continue to age into the 65-and-up bracket until the end of the 2020s.

Thanks to advances in healthcare and medicine, these older Americans are projected to live longer on average than their predecessors. According to the Census Bureau, by 2030, those aged 65 and older will constitute more than 20 percent of the U.S. population, and they are projected to remain between one-fifth and one-quarter of the U.S. population through at least 2060.
