<br />. <br /> <br />DEMOGRAPHICS <br /> <br />The State of Minnesota's older population is growing more rapidly as fewer <br />persons over the ages of 65 are relocating to the sunbelt states and noticeable in- <br />migration is occuring as former residents are now moving back home after <br />numerous years of retirement in the sunbelt states. Both the state-wide and the <br />Ramsey County census of persons over 65 reflect this significant growth. <br /> <br />State of Minnesota <br />Population of Persons Over 65 <br /> <br />Year Total <br />1970 434,964 <br />1980 479,564 <br />1990 548,933 <br /> <br />% Change <br /> <br />+9.3% <br />+ 14.4% <br /> <br />RAMSEY COUNTY <br />TOTAL POPULATION AND PERSONS OVER 65 <br />197v-1990 <br /> <br /> Total Population Pe,.~ons over 65 <br />Year Total % Change Total % Chanae <br />1970 476,255 47,140 <br />1980 459,784 -3.5% 53,326 + 11.6% <br />1990 485,765 +5.6% 59,388 + 11.3% <br />
