90+ in the United States: 2006-2008. American Community Survey Reports

摘要

This report presents an overview of the population aged 90 and over in the United States and a comparative analysis of selected characteristics between the 90-and-older and other older age groups. Data for this report primarily come from the 2006-2008 and 2008 American Community Surveys (ACS). Because the 2006-2008 ACS 3-year estimates are based on a larger sample than 1-year estimates and therefore are more reliable, they are used for analysis of the 90-and-over population by age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin at the national level and by age and sex at the state level.
