Per capita NEPA has more older ppl than florida. So basically what the other dood said was completly true although he didnt use any of the facts. (NEPA = god's waiting room)
Old people are everywhere, and getting older every day. So what? By 2035 the 70-plus age group (
nationwide) will more than double, from about 26 million last year to 57 million, according to Census Bureau estimates.
Nobody is flocking to Pennsylvania after retirement in search of a geriatric paradise. The simple fact is that a lot of people who happen to be born and raised in Pennsylvania like it here and they
don't move elsewhere after retirement.

Know your facts b4 you try to flame someone
Umm, first of all, I wasn't 'flaming' him. I simply asked why he would stay in a place that had nothing to offer. Second, you
really should take your own advice.
According to the census bureau:
Number of people aged 65 or older, by county:
Montgomery County, PA: 113231. Total pop. = 766517. % of total pop. over 65 =
14.7%
Carbon County, PA: 10,733. Total pop. = 59688. % of total over 65 =
18%
Potter County, PA: 3024. Total pop. = 18217. % of total over 65 =
16.6%
Monroe County, PA 17709. Total pop = 148839. % of total over 65 =
11.9%
Palm Beach County, FL 265128. Total pop = 1,190,390. % of total over 65 =
22.3%
I could list more counties individually, but lets look at the statewide totals, shall we?
PENNSYLVANIA: Total Population (July 1, 2002, U.S. Census Bureau): 12,335,091
65 and over: 1,908,962
1908962 / 12335091 = 0.1547 * 100% =
15.47% over 65
FLORIDA: Total Population (July 1, 2002, U.S. Census Bureau): 16,713,149
65 and over: 2,854,838
2,854,838 / 16,713,149 = .1708 * 100% =
17.08% over 65.
I guess it's like they say, "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open one's mouth and remove any doubt."
