17% of Florida’s population is 65 and older

The U.S. Census Bureau reports that 17% of Florida's population was 65 years of age or older during 2008. Florida led the way with the highest percentage reported in the United States. The percent of those persons 65 or older should remain constant with retirees expected to make the move to Florida in the future.

The University of Florida reports on the increase/decrease of Florida's population being affected by the housing market with retirees unable to sell their home in order to make their desired move to Florida.
