Census Data Mapper Map & Analysis - October 2013.
LINK to this map on Google Drive.
There seems to be regions in the western part of the United States with big patches of old people. But there is also a lot of patches of not so many old people in the western part of the United States as well. There is particularly a lot of old people in Florida and some of the other southern regions of the US like Texas and Nevada.. There is quite a bit of old people in the mid-western part of the United States. I noticed a lot of old people in the northwest too. Hawaii and Alaska have hardly any old people.
I would assume that a lot of old people would live in the Southern area because it is warmer there. The warm weather is probably easier on them. A lot of results probably came up in Nevada and not in the states by it because the neighboring areas are a lot less populated. The little-to-none results probably came up in Alaska and Hawaii because Alaska is so cold and those areas are not as populated. There were probably a lot of results in the mid-west compared to the west because it is generally more populated. It is probably easier to live in the mid-west than some of the other states.
It makes a difference if more old people live in one place than another. A place with a lot of old people and fewer young people would be a lot different than a place with a lot of young people and few old people. In the places with a lot of old people the younger people will have to work to take care of the older ones since they can’t work and pay for the nursing homes. It puts much more of a burden on the younger people of the society. The society itself would be different with more old people or young people. If you live in a place with a lot more old people you may be talking with a lot more people older than you than with people younger than you. Most of your friends may be people that are older than you. The benefits of a society with older people may be that so you can learn from your older friends because they most likely have a lot more experience than you. The challenges may be the economic burden for the young people. Since old people can’t really work the younger people would have to work harder than in some other places.
