The level of participation also increases as the median income level goes <br />up. <br />TableA-MedianAqe: <br />2020 Census 2024 <br />Proiectlon <br />2029 <br />Proiection <br />Primary Service Area 35.1 34.0 34.8 <br />Secondary Service Area 34.9 35.6 36.3 <br />State of Washinqton 38.1 38.8 40.0 <br />National 38.8 39.3 40.4 <br />ChartA-MedianAqe: <br />50 <br />45 <br />4A <br />35 <br />30 <br />25 <br />39 1 38.8 38 I 39.3 40 404 <br />356 363351 34I 34 34.8 <br />2420 <br />r Primary Service Area <br />2024 <br />Secondary Service Area <br />2029 <br />r State r National <br />The median age in the Primary Service Area is slightly lower than the State of Washington <br />and the National number.
