The US Census Bureau keeps records of the percentage of the population under age 5 and over age 65 for the nation and for your state. Find the data for your state and answer the following questions:
1. What is the most recent percentage of the population under 18 in the United States and in your state? Do these
numbers seem high or low? Explain your response.
2. Review the percent change in population over five years for your state. Based on what you learned in the lesson,
name two possible conclusions you might draw from this number.
