#DidYouKnow: 80% of #Indiana counties had more seniors than residents under age 15 as of 2025.

Check out this dot-plot (beeswarm) graph. Each dot is a U.S. county and their older-younger ratio. A number above 100 means there are more senior residents compared to children under age 15.

Scatter plot below shows #UpperMidwest counties (by type) and their share of population age 25 or older with a bachelor's degree or more, between 2014 and 2024. Of the 524 counties, only 11 saw their share decrease (5 in Illinois, 2 in Indiana, 1 in Minnesota, and 3 in Ohio).

#Indiana pulled ahead compared to the #UpperMidwest when looking at two generations of population change: 1975-2000 and 2000-2025.

This map correlates with population growth/decline. But a retention angle is also visible.

"Population loss has become shorthand for decline. This report suggests the shorthand is wrong. Nearly half of all US counties show a mismatch between their demographic & economic trajectories" https://t.co/VFT97c2su8

Population change in #UpperMidwest states between 1970 and 2025. What is going on in #Minnesota? #Illinois and #Ohio remain the most populous. What do you think @midwestern_ope ?

[Data Whisperer @DataWhisperer5]

@NateSilver538 Interesting. Check out this scatter plot with similar data. Density and D share of the vote are strongly correlated.
