Demographics of Aging in Wisconsin
This page provides links to information about population
aging in Wisconsin counties. The PowerPoint slideshow titled
"Wisconsin's Elder Boom: Projections for the Growing 65+
Population" provides a series of colored maps showing how
population aging is expected to affect Wisconsin counties over the next
25 years. The numbers behind the maps are available in the downloadable
Excel file called "Population Projection Tables." All
population projections data come from the Wisconsin Department of
Administration's Population Projections program.

In addition, three documents are available for each
county and for the state as a whole. Each contains information
from U.S. Census 2000, stored in PDF format for you to download or
print.
-
The Population Tables present official
population counts and basic information about age, race and living
arrangements in table format. All of this basic
information comes from the Census "short form," also known
as Summary File 1. These files take 11 KB.
-
The Population Overviews include the same
basic population information in an easy to read summary. The file size of these overviews is 13 KB.
-
The third document contains a summary of the older
population's Social and Economic Characteristics, including
income, poverty, education, marital status and disability status from the
Census "long form" (Summary File 3). These files
take 14 KB.
For more details about your county's population, or for
