The 2010 Census reveals that Upper New England and West Virginia have replaced Florida as the oldest population states.
Maine is now the oldest state in average age, followed by Vermont, West Virginia and New Hampshire.
What this also reveals is that these four states, all of which are among the most “Anglo white” states, have aged due to lack of reproduction by whites in the general population nationally. This is connected to the reality the country at large is becoming less Anglo and white as a whole, with the reproduction rate of minorities much higher, along with the immigration of people of Hispanic and Latino heritage seeing a dramatic increase.
America is becoming more diverse every year, and by 2040-2050, the Anglo white population will be less than a majority.
All this affects the Republican Party in a detrimental way, and if they continue their present policy stands, they will be “dinosaurs” in thirty years, as the Democrats will have the edge in most states, although maybe not in these states that are less diverse!
