title: Decennial state population changes by age.
abstract: Analysis of the 1990 Census indicates that there were significant differences in the geographic population changes among the four major age segments of our nation's residents. Nationally, rapid growth occurred among the elderly and for persons aged 20-44. On the other hand, the number of children under 20 years of age declined, while at the same time there were moderate changes among persons aged 45-64. Among individual states between 1980 and 1990, in these important age categories, many instances of substantial gains and losses emerged.
