Centenarian Population: 2007-2011. American Community Survey Briefs.

摘要

This brief provides an overview of the centenarian population living in the United States based on the 2007-2011 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year data. It is a companion to the 2010 Census Special Report Centenarians: 2010, which focused on the count of centenarians, their sex, race, and Hispanic-origin characteristics, and their geographic distribution.1 This brief explores the social and economic characteristics collected annually in the ACS to provide information on the marital status, educational attainment, veteran status, income, and poverty levels of centenarians. Since centenarians represent a rare population, distinct from the rest of the older population in many ways, they are compared to the 65 years and older population.
