Local student population has been falling for over a decade.
Retirees and second home owners have been rising for over a decade.
Reagan and O'Neil pointed this out to us in 1984, when they had their Rose Garden announcement on social security. The number of US workers compared to retirees would be at the lowest ratio as Boomers entered retirement.
That started in 2010, will culminate next year when the largest group of Boomers born in 1959 will reach Medicare.
The SSA predicts that this will largely balance out by 2070.
