Longevity Trends for Cheyenne County Couples
Cheyenne County adults enjoy longer lives with more couples reaching retirement age together. National longevity studies show rising life expectancy, with both spouses likely to be alive 10 years after retirement. Of 18-year-olds entering work or college last year, about 115 of 170 are expected to reach 65. For 22-year-old men, about 89 percent may be alive at 53, the typical age of the youngest child’s marriage. A 50-year marriage chance now exceeds one in three if no divorce occurs.
