In more states, older people outnumber children

As more states see older residents outnumbering children, Catron County in New Mexico stands as a prime example of this demographic shift. The county's scenic appeal attracts retirees, but it faces challenges like limited medical facilities, which could foreshadow broader issues in regions experiencing similar population trends. This shift signals a need for better healthcare infrastructure and services to support aging populations, highlighting a potential nationwide challenge for communities grappling with these demographic changes.
