Abstract
Over the next 20 years, the total population of Massachusetts is projected to grow by about 6%, from 6.6 million to 7.0 million people. Between 2010 and 2030, the growth of the state’s population is expected to occur almost entirely among older adults. In fact, the group of individuals 65 years and older is expected to grow by 61%.
