U.S. Age Demographics, 1990-2000

Summary: State-by-state summary of age-related census data for 1990 and 2000.

The U.S. Census Bureau has released state-by-state Census 2000 data that includes breakdowns of the population by age. We have created summaries for each state showing what percentage of the population is age 55+, age 65+, age 75+, age 85+, age 55-64, age 65-74, and age 75-84, calculating the rate of increase for each age group and comparing that to the national ratios and to the data for the 1990 census.

The data also includes figures on the number of households that include anyone age 65 or older (23% nationally) and what percentage of the age 65+ population lives alone (28% nationally). Click on a state in the list below to see details. Warning! The files are very large and may take a few seconds to load.
