SPOTLIGHT ON DEMOGRAPHICS

CENSUS 2000 DATA & AGING
The US Census Bureau is slowly releasing results from the 2000 Census. So
far, there is only limited data on older adults, but we will track the
information as it comes out on our Census 2000 on Aging page:
http://www.aging.unc.edu/infocenter/data/census2000.html

QUICK FACTS
If you need to locate some quick facts about aging in North Carolina (e.g.,
NC ranks 10th in number of persons aged 65 and over), try the Information
Center's page of Quick Facts:

FEATURED WEB SITE: AMERISTAT
http://www.ameristat.org/
AmeriStat summarizes in graphics and text the demographic characteristics of
the U.S. population, and has an entire section devoted to the older
population. This web site and others have been selected for inclusion in
AGELIB, the Institute on Aging's database of aging resources. You can search
