US population aging rapidly, new Census data reveals.
TL;DR
Minnesota's population is aging, with the typical Minnesotan being 38.4 years old in 2020 and 16.6% of residents being seniors. The number of centenarians in the state has increased by over 25% since 2010. Urban populations are typically younger than rural areas, with the Twin Cities metro having a median age of 37.5. The state's aging population will create challenges for the workforce and social services funded by fewer people.
