Baby Boomers moving to Florida
Southwest Florida's older population potentially could double as aging baby boomers begin to retire.
"For the next 25 years, boomers will come to Lee County, already growing by 25,000 people a year. "
"Conservative estimates show that 54,000 people ages 65 to 69 will live in Lee County by 2030. That's an increase of 20,000 for that age group alone. "
"Altogether, about 4 million baby boomers are expected to pull up stakes and move to the Sunshine State when they retire. That's double the percentage of their parents' generation."
"But the flood of boomers also will create new business niches, build an armada of community volunteers, energize college classrooms and bring liveliness to areas such as the arts and culture scene, whose leaders have started tailoring programs to a generation younger than their traditional audience. "
