LOCALIZE IT: 2020 census data offers new insights into ages, household relationships in US

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 23:04:34 GMT

EDITORS/NEWS DIRECTORS:After an almost two-year delay, the U.S. Census Bureau has made public its latest figures from the 2020 census, releasing data sets dealing with ages, housing and household relationships in the U.S.The results show a nation that aged more rapidly between 2010 and 2020 than any other decade in 130 years, with the median age rising from 37.2 to 38.8. America’s two largest age groups propelled the changes: more baby boomers turning 65 or older and millennials who became adults or pushed further into their 20s and early 30s. Also, fewer children were born between 2010 and 2020, according to numbers from the once-a-decade head count of every U.S. resident.There are important social and economic consequences to an aging population, including the ability of working-age adults to support older people through Social Security and Medicare contributions. The Census Bureau calculates a dependency ratio, defined as the number of children plus the number of seniors per 100 ...

State senators approved a fiscal 2024 budget proposal Thursday that puts lawmakers in the chamber immediately at odds with their House counterparts, who passed a proposal last month that included online Lottery and free school meals at public schools.After a multi-day debate, the Senate pushed forward a document that allows some illegal immigrants to qualify for in-state tuition at public colleges or universities, shuttles millions to regional transportation authorities, and provides no-cost calls for local inmates.But the House and Senate will have to hash out what to do over the House and Gov. Maura Healey-backed proposal to allow people to buy and play state Lottery games online, something Treasurer Deb Goldberg has said is essential for the gambling service to compete with the rise of digital sports betting.Top Senate officials have argued the idea is not yet ready for prime time and an amendment from Sen.
