Baby Boomers by the numbers: Census reveals trends
Updated 43m ago
By Nanci Hellmich, USA TODAY
The majority of Baby Boomers are white, married, have some college education and were employed in 2006, says a report from the U.S. Census Bureau. The report is a new analysis of 2006 data, the first time the government has examined specifics on Boomers since 1996.
Baby Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, make up about 26.1% of the U.S. population, or an estimated 78 million people.
Knowing a lot about the age group will help identify demographic and social trends, says Carrie Werner, the U.S. Census Bureau statistician who did the report. "This is one of the biggest generations this country has ever seen."
Nearly 86% of the generation was born in the USA, while 14% were foreign born.
Five states with the largest number of Baby Boomers:
• California
• Texas
• New York
• Florida
• Pennsylvania
Five counties with the most Boomers:
• Los Angeles County, Calif. (L.A., Long Beach )
• Cook County, Ill. (Chicago, Naperville, Joliet)
• Harris County, Texas (Houston, Sugar Land, Baytown)
• Maricopa County, Ariz. (Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale)
• Orange County, Calif. ( Santa Ana)
