INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
AoA-IM- 99-03
| TO : |
STATE AND AREA AGENCIES ON AGING ADMINISTERING
TITLES III AND VII OF THE OLDER AMERICANS ACT OF 1965, AS
AMENDED |
SUBJECT : 1998 Population Estimates of the 60+ Population
for States and Territories
LEGAL AND RELATED : Older Americans Act, As Amended
Purpose
The purpose of this memorandum is to transmit current estimates
of the population 60 years of age and older (60+) for the states
and U.S. territories. The attached table presents the most recent
population estimates available from the U.S. Bureau of the Census,
and will be used by the Administration on Aging to determine formula
grant awards during fiscal year 2000 under Title III of the Older
Americans Act. Also attached, for your information, are several
other population tables by age groups.
The figures for the 50 states and the District of Columbia are
population estimates as of July 1, 1998. The figures for American
Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, and the Virgin Islands
are population counts as of April 1, 1990, and are from the 1990
Census of Population. Estimates for 1998 for these areas are not
available from the Bureau of the Census. The figure shown for
Puerto Rico is the estimate for July 1, 1997, the latest available
from the Bureau of the Census at this time. The updated figure
using July 1, 1998 data for Puerto Rico is expected to be released
soon and will be used in the Title III grant formula calculation.
As was the case in previous years, the Puerto Rico 60+ population
estimate is based on a total population estimate for that date
and the percentage of the total population which was 60+ as enumerated
by the 1990 Census of Population.
EFFECTIVE DATE : None
