Here are some of the people you are trying to attract to the Dome from Onondaga County
CENSUS
Onondaga County older and more diverse
Central New York’s population has become older and more diverse over the past two years, mirroring national trends, according to new U.S. Census Bureau estimates for age, race and s*x being released today.
In Onondaga County, the median age of all residents increased from 37 years to almost 39 between July 2010 and July 2012, making the county slightly older than the new national median age of 37.5 years, the Census Bureau said.
Asians continued to be the nation’s fastest growing race or ethnic group in 2012, with a population increase of 530,000 or 2.9 percent nationwide.
