What this chart shows: Household Residents by Age - United States, Colorado & Larimer County, 2008
Data Source: United States Census Bureau, 2008 American Community Survey
What these data tell us:
According to the 2000 Census, Larimer County had a slightly lower median age (33.2 years) than the national median age (35.3 years). However, the median age in Larimer County cities and towns varied. Fort Collins had the lowest median age (29.3 years), while Estes Park and Livermore were considerably older (45.5 and 44.6 years, respectively). One reason for the low median age in Fort Collins is its large student population attending Colorado State University, while the higher median ages in Estes Park and Livermore could be attributed to the presence of higher percentages of senior citizens in both areas (see data table). In 2008, Larimer County's median age (34.5 years) continued to remain below the national median age (36.9 years). American Community Survey 2008According to the 2008 American Community Survey, Larimer County has a lower percentage of children under the age of 14 than either Colorado or the nation. There are a larger percentage of residents between the ages of 15 and 34, which is partially due to the presence of a large university, Colorado State University, in Larimer County.
