Even with all the young people moving to Portland to retire, the state population is ageing. Unfortunately, wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age.
Oregon’s 65-and-older population grew by 18 percent between July 2010 and July 2014, according to newly released population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau. That outpaces the country as a whole, which saw its senior population grow by 14.2 percent in the same time period.
Most Oregon counties saw their 65-and-older population grow by more than 10 percent in the same time period. No county saw a decrease.
And they're still voting for Democratics in the Valley.
