Message: [QUOTE="syracuse95, post: 2154764, member: 860"] Reading this thread made me wonder how much older and poorer the Syracuse area had really gotten since I was in college, so I looked up some census and Federal Reserve data. Because it was either that or watch baseball. The population of Onondaga County has been surprisingly stable since 1970, having stayed within 7,000 of 465,000 during that entire time (low of 453,336 in 1990 to a high of 472,746 in 1970). It's currently estimated at 468,463. The median age of Onondaga County did creep up slightly from 2000-2015, from 36.3 to 38.8. The percentage of the population over 65 has also stayed very flat, between 13.0% and 14.0% since 1990. Most surprisingly, to me at least, is that the per capita income, adjusted for inflation based on US CPI, has risen dramatically from $38,001 in 1990 to $47,034 in 2015. Do with this information what you will. God I can't wait for football season to start. [/QUOTE]
