SC among states where older people outnumber children

In Catron County, New Mexico, the trend of an aging population is emerging early, with older adults outnumbering children. The county's stunning natural beauty attracts retirees, but the lack of accessible medical facilities poses challenges. This shift highlights broader demographic changes in the region, potentially impacting healthcare services, local economy, and community structures. It's a microcosm of what could be a larger trend in other parts of the country, where aging populations face significant logistical and social challenges.
