Fairfax County will see significant growth in its 65-and-older population over the coming 20 years, according to newly released government estimates.
The county’s senior population is expected to grow from about 190,000 today to about 320,000 by 2045, significantly outpacing total county population growth.
A record population count, higher home values and a rare year-over-year decline in household income are among the data highlights of Fairfax County’s latest annual demographic report.
Released in late June, the new report covers data from 2024. It is one of a host of tools offered by the county government on demographic and economic trends across Fairfax.
