Growing Areas of America Have Families and Affordable Housing

New Geography reports:
America is getting older. Those over the age of 65, which currently account for 12% of the population, are expected to make up 20% of the population by 2030. People are marrying later, and a growing group, though still a distinct minority, is choosing not to have children. So if there are proportionately fewer traditional households, do families still matter in determining how places and regions grow?
Another great one from Joel Kotkin.
