The purpose of this report is to present information on how the age structure of the overall population and the composition of the older population in terms of age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin are expected to change over the next four decades.
  • Age data for the U.S. and Special Age Groups, such as Selected Characteristics of Baby Boomers 42 to 60 Years Old in 2006 and the older or elderly population. Historical data from the 2000 and 1990 census are also available.
