California's aging population persists

California is experiencing a rapid aging of its population, with the over-65 demographic expected to double in the next 20 years, faster than the national rate. This shift is driven by a decline in birth rates, out-migration of working-age residents, and high housing costs that discourage young families from staying or moving into the state. Consequently, California faces declining school enrollments, decreased homeownership among young adults, and a diminished ability to attract new residents, threatening its economic and social stability. Addressing these issues may require significant housing reforms and policies aimed at supporting younger populations and revitalizing the state's growth.
