AGE STRUCTURE
|
|
The median age was 32.8 in 1990 (slightly below the national average), and was 35.7 in 2000. The slow rise of the median age is due to the aging of the Baby Boom, not to any massive influx of seniors. In 1998, median age for the U.S. was 35.2. Much of metropolitan Tucson's growth over the next 20 years will be driven by working age people moving here for employment opportunities.
