The 75+ age <br />cohort is forecast to increase by 70% (497 people) in Ramsey between 2019 and 2024. The <br />growth in the senior age cohorts can be primarily attributed to the baby boom generation <br />aging into their senior years. <br />• The social changes that occurred with the aging of the baby boom generation, such as <br />higher divorce rates, higher levels of education, and lower birth rates has led to a greater <br />variety of lifestyles than existed in the past — not only among baby boomers, but also <br />among their parents and children. The increased variety of lifestyles has also fueled de- <br />mand for alternative housing products to single-family homes. Seniors, in particular, and <br />middle-aged persons tend to do more traveling and participate in more activities than previ- <br />ous generations, and they increasingly prefer maintenance -free housing that enables them <br />to spend more time on activities outside the home. <br />MAXFIELD RESEARCH AND CONSULTING 11 <br />
