Book excerpt: In 2000, the U.S. Census Bureau counted 281.4 million people in the U.S. Of this number: 72.3 million, or 26% of the U.S, pop¿n., were under age 18; 174.1 million, or 62%, were age 18 to 64; and 35.0 million, or 12%, were age 65 and over. The age groups under 18 years, 18 to 63 years, and 65 years and over experienced similar growth rates over the decade prior to 2000 -- 13.7%, 13.2%, and 12.0%, respectively. Median age increased from 32.9 in 1990 to 35.3 in 2000, reflecting a change in age dist. toward the older ages.
