But I agree the 20-24 age range county-wide increase of around 8,000 people (21%) is significant. I wonder, maybe have colleges and universities around here collectively increased enrollment by around 8,000 from 200 to 2007? Otherwise, I can't think of anyhing else that could cause the 20-24 range to jump so much more than 25-29.<BR/><BR/>According to <A HREF="http://apb.buffalo.edu/facts/enrollment/highlights/FallEnrollmentTrends.pdf" REL="nofollow">this</A>, UB enrollment grew by 3,674 from 2000 to 2007, which might explain almost half the 8,000 increase. And if their portion of NYC or international students grew over that time (if a larger percent of their student body comes from outide Erie Co in 2007 than 2000), that could explain even more than half.<BR/><BR/>That Buffalo News link Chris posted has a nice lookup tool for Census info per state and county since 2000 per age range. It looks like Niagara and Monroe counties also had good percent jumps in the 20-24 range, similar to Erie Co. Niagara also had a big percent jump in 25-29 (casino workers maybe?), but Monroe decreased for 25-29.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584846.post-89380330062476378992008-08-31T20:27:00.000-05:002008-08-31T20:27:00.000-05:00David:http://www.buffalonews.com/145/story/408929....David:<BR/><BR/>http://www.buffalonews.com/145/story/408929.html<BR/><BR/>U. S. Census Bureau estimates being released today show the young adult population in all of Erie County is actually increasing.<BR/><BR/>The data, which includes county-by-county breakdowns on age, sex and race, shows that Erie County had 69,566 people between the ages of 20 and 24 in 2007 compared with 57,441 in 2000 — a 21 percent increase. The 25-29 year-old age group saw a slight bump from 55,035 in 2000 to 56,061 in 2007.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
