The Census Bureau reports America's median age climbed to 31.2 as of July 1, the highest ever, with half of Americans above that age. Aging baby boomers and a small late 1960s 1970s birth cohort drive continued increase toward 1990 and beyond.
The nation first surpassed age 30 in 1950 with a 30.2 median, then dipped to 27.9 by 1967 as WWII birth rates fell. Postwar baby boom lifted the median to 30 again in 1980, with a high 30.3 reached in 1981. Between 1980 and 1984 the 35 to 44 group rose 19.5 percent and the 85+ group rose 19.4 percent as overall population grew 4.2 percent. Both age ranges are expected to keep expanding.
