Our new demography could mean big changes over the next few decades.
About 333 million people call America home. Of those, some 56.4 million are age 65 or older. The older crowd includes 6.8 million people who are at least 85 years old, and 100,000 who are centenarians: 100 or older. Median age is about 38.About 14.9% of all people living in the United States come from another country. This ties two other peaks for the biggest share of foreign-born residents in American history. On average, new arrivals are younger than the native-born population.
The timing of these declines suggests that California’s COVID-19 emergency — which escalated in March 2020, 8 to 11 months earlier — might have reduced conceptions substantially, consistent with the first explanation listed above . Both the year-over-year decline and the decline relative to the pre-pandemic baseline in 2019 were much smaller in March-June 2021 than in January-February 2021, suggesting that this effect could be transitory.
