It is projected that age categories 0-5, 18-24, 25-44, 45-54, 65-74 and <br />75+ will see an increase in population. The population of the United States is aging, and <br />it is not unusual to find negative growth numbers in the younger age groups and significant <br />net gains in the 45 plus age groupings in communities which are relatively stable in their <br />population numbers. <br />261 Page <br />
