Sun Belt See Population Decline as Boomers Stay Put

Written by Pat's Papers | Wednesday, 24 March 2010 6:48 AM

Boomers are staying put. The Miami Herald reports that fewer elderly people are moving to the Sun Belt states when they retire. Experts say after taking a battering in the last recession, many want to stay close to big cities, and dynamic job markets, in order to improve their chances of working beyond the age of 65. Most states in the south saw their populations stay the same or decline slightly, while big cities in the north saw increases. Texas was the only state to buck the trend, which saw “substantial gains due to a stronger labor market and immigrant growth.”
