Demograhics Update -- March 6, 2026

Locator: 50155BOOMERS.

If this is accurate -- holy mackerel -- all due to immigration during the Biden years because data before Biden years suggested a significant linear drop.

Baby boomers, born, 1946 - 1964: in 2035 the age range of those boomers still alive --  71 - 89.

There are current 78.2 million baby boomers in the US right now. The youngest turn 60 years old this year. Wow, that's still pretty young. Apparently the peak was reached this past year -- boosted by immigration in the last few years. The baby boomer generation appears to have peaked at about 79 million. 

So, it's a bit confusing. Pew Research appears to disagree with the data above. Some sources suggest that the baby boomer population peaked within the last year or so; others saying the baby boomer population will increase by about 700,000 by 2035.  

They will "all" be collecting social security. 

Pew Research, link herePew Research suggests the 67 million now, will decrease to less than 50 million by 2035.


Maybe I'm misreading the numbers / the analysis.
