AGING IN COMMUNITY:What’s Being Done to Prepare?Thursday, August 25, 2011

The Past
333
• Here’s a basic overview of New Hampshire’s population according to the Census data from 2010. Not many surprises here.
• The most densely populated areas are in the state’s southern areas, particularly Rockingham, Hillsborough and Merrimack counties.
• The highest population centers are in and around Manchester and Nashua, with pockets of density scattered in the cities.
• The North Country remains sparsely populated.
• Total state population increased 6.5 percent since 2000, with 1.3 million people now calling New Hampshire home. But let’s look at how that population has shifted over the past decade…..
44
• This map details where the growth and loss in population, town by town, occurred since 2000.
• Some obvious points: the biggest increases came in Hillsborough and Rockingham counties. We can also see the influence that Interstate 93 has on population growth over the past decade.
• Other pockets of large increase: the Conway and Plymouth regions, the Lakes Region and the Upper Valley. We’ll return to those later.
• And while nearly every region saw some increase in population, the declines were focused largely on the North Country.
55
• But while the overall state population increased, the number of school-aged children fell: a loss of more than 22,000 students, or a 7 percent decline since 2000.
• As this map shows, that drop was spread across the state, with a few towns gaining in school-age population.
• But flip back to the previous map. You’ll see that many of the areas that had the biggest gains in total population saw a decline in their school-aged numbers: portions Hillsborough County and the Rochester area, for instance. How might that trend shape discussions about education spending, both at the state and local level?
• More broadly, policymakers will have to consider what steps to take to build the education system in a state where the student population is declining.
66
• Numbers released earlier this year offered an overview of the state’s population, but the recent figures provide a more detailed portrait. For instance, this map plots the median age of New Hampshire’s cities and towns. The darker the shade of the community, the older the median age of its residents. (The statewide median age was 41.1 in 2010, up from 39.3 in 2000.)
• New Hampshire can essentially be divided into two regions when it comes to age: an older half north of the Lakes Region, and a younger half below.
• But even in the “younger” half, there is a further subdivision, with the region between Interstate 93 and the Seacoast significantly younger than the western portion.
• How might those divisions shape future policy discussions related to health care, education and public spending?
• (White areas of the map are unincorporated areas for which the Census Bureau did not release information.)
7
• This map plots the oldest segment of the population – those aged 85 and older – town by town. (Statewide, 1.9 percent of New Hampshire’s population was 85 or older in 2010.)
• The darker communities, those whose populations included a higher share of elderly residents, will face additional challenges in the coming years to care for that population. The pressures will be felt in healthcare expenditures, in municipal budgets, and in familial and community ties.
• As New Hampshire ages faster than the national average, these communities will pave the way for much of the rest of the state in coming years.

U.S. Census figures released in December show that the 2000s saw the slowest rate of population growth in New Hampshire in six decades. Later this year, the Census Bureau will release specific population figures for counties and communities. What will those numbers tell us about the state’s demographic patterns over the past decade? And what will they mean for the redrawing of electoral districts in the New Hampshire Legislature later this year?

What do the baby boomers want?
• World War II cohort (born from 1928 to 1945) – Key characteristics: conformity, conservatism, traditional family values

cause oriented • Generation Jones or Boomer cohort #2 (born from 1955 to 1964)
– Key characteristics: less optimistic, pragmatic, general cynicism • Generation X cohort (born from 1965 to 1980)
– Key characteristics: quest for emotional security, independent, informality, entrepreneurial
• Millennial Generation cohort also called Generation Y (born from 1981 to 2001) – Key characteristics: quest for physical security and safety, heightened
fears, acceptance of change, technically savvy, environmental issues • Source: William Strauss and Neal Turning “Fourth Turning”
