TO : STATE AND AREA AGENCIES ON AGING ADMINISTERING TITLES
III AND VII OF THE OLDER AMERICANS ACT OF 1965, AS AMENDED
SUBJECT : 1996 Population Estimates of the 60+ Population for States and Territories
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 1998 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, 1996. 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 1996 for these areas are not
available from the Bureau of the Census. The figure shown for
Puerto Rico is an estimate for July 1, 1996, the latest available
from the Bureau of the Census, and 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.
