In more states, older people outnumber children

In many states, the demographic shift toward an aging population is becoming more pronounced, with older residents now outnumbering children in some areas. Catron County in New Mexico exemplifies this trend as it attracts retirees with its stunning scenery but lacks adequate medical facilities, posing challenges for its growing elderly population. This demographic change highlights broader issues such as healthcare accessibility and the economic impact of an aging society, raising questions about the future sustainability of services for the elderly.
