The majority of the age categories will see an increase, the category of -5, 5-17and <br />45-54 age groups will see a decrease. The population of the United States as a whole is aging, <br />and 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 />0 <br />1,000 <br />2,000 <br />3,000 <br />4,000 <br />5,000 <br />6,000 <br />7,000 <br />-5 5-17 yr 18-24 25-44 45-54 55-64 65-74 75+ <br />Po <br />p <br />u <br />l <br />a <br />t <br />i <br />o <br />n <br />2010 2015 2020 <br />APPENDIX B
