In the 2000 Census, some 470,000 of Connecticut’s 3.4 million residents were 65 or over. What do you think that population is now? Projections by the Connecticut Commission on Aging predict a 64% increase, which means somewhere north of 800,000 residents. Or nearly 25% of all residents. That doesn’t bode well for municipalities depending on an active workforce sustaining a vibrant commercial real estate market.
