The US is getting younger

I know the US is starting to get younger again but I think it needs to be restated since it is easy to think it is in the same position as Europe, with its aging population.

"The increase in the median age, which has followed the aging of the Baby Boom cohorts for years, has either slowed or reversed in states. Although some states boast a median age of over 40 years, many areas are now experiencing a distinct “younging” of the population. This trend is likely to continue. As the echo effect of the Baby Boom wanes, births are still increasing in the U.S. with the arrival of younger families. Dick Stroud: www.20plus30.com
