BABY BOOMERS

This table of U.S. population age data shows the "baby boomer" generation as red bars.

Today, the eldest of the boomers is 64 and entered the Retirement Zone at 55 in 2001. The peak years for baby boomers hitting 55 will be 2016-2020.

Will a new home for retirement be in their future? Surveys indicate that the majority will remain on the move and an upwardly mobile group, choosing to upgrade instead of downsize their residence.
