About Cornell Program on Applied Demographics

The Program on Applied Demographics (PAD) brings skills in demographics, economics, statistics, data gathering and data analysis together to provide a variety of organizations with data, information and advice. PAD works closely with the New York State Department of Economic Development, the U.S. Census Bureau and other organizations to assist them in their activities. PAD maintains its own web site at http://pad.human.cornell.edu/. The site has an extensive data section where viewers have access to the latest data on New York, including data from Census 2010.

Summary

On May 12, 2011 the U.S. Census Bureau released Census 2010 Demographic Profiles for New York State. This data provides a number of basic tables with information on the age structure, race/ethnicity, living arrangement and housing tenure down to places, towns and cities. Future products releases will give more cross‐tabulations and more geographic detail. This document details some first impressions of the changing age composition in New York State in the last decade. The major conclusions:

• The total New York population grew with 2.1%, but that growth was evenly among the age groups: the growth of the 55‐59 year old and 60‐64 year old exceeded 30%. Some other age groups had counts lower in 2010 than in 2000, especially age groups under 15 and between 30 and 44 were a lot smaller in 2010.

• The median age was 38.0 and has been increasing since the 1970 census when the median age was 30.3.

• The share of the population that was 65 and over increased slightly over the last two decades after many decades of larger increases. During the next decade the first baby boomers will pass the 65 year of age mark and their share will almost certainly increase sharply over the next decade.

• The population age 85 and over increased sizably in number and share. • The share of the population age under 18 was lowest since at least the 1950 Census. Not only

did the share drop in the last decade, the total number decreased with ‐7.8%. • There is a complex relation between age distribution and household and family size. The

average household and family size both decreased over the last 10 years. Other data suggest that on the national level the historic decrease in household and family size leveled off and might even be on the rise. Demographic profiles released for some other states show increases, but the household and family size in New York decreased when comparing the Census 2000 and the Census 2010 snapshots.

• There are clear differences in age composition between the regions. New York City for example has a completely different looking age pyramid with relative large groups of people in their 20’s and 30’s. Many indicators put Western New York and the Mohawk Valley among the regions with the ‘older’ populations and smaller household sizes and the Mid‐Hudson region among the regions with the ‘younger’ populations and larger households.

• Long Island has one of the largest shares of people under 18 and a large average family size, but at the same time an above average share of people age 65 and over and a relative high median age.

• The age characteristics in the North Country are biased by the presence of special populations at Fort Drum and the correctional facilities.

Introduction

On May 12, 2011 the U.S. Census Bureau released the New York Demographic profiles. This data provides a number of basic tables with information on the age structure, race/ethnicity, living arrangement and housing tenure down to places, towns and cities. Earlier in 2011 the U.S. Census Bureau released redistricting data which contained total counts by race/ethnicity at a very fine geographic detail. This document focuses on the change in age composition in the state and in the state’s ten economic regions as defined by the New York State Department of Economic Development. It follows a report with first impressions based on the redistricting data which focused on the change in size and change in racial distribution. The first section of the report contains a detailed age composition for New York State and some key statistics compared with the 2000 Census. It then highlights some of the age related statistics imbedded in the Demographic profiles. These statistics are compared with data from earlier censuses and contain a comparison between the ten regions. The following sections contain age composition and a basic comparison with Census 2000 for each of the regions. A map with the definition of the ten regions can be found in Appendix A. Additional data, including interactive maps can be found on our web site (http://pad.human.cornell.edu)
