In all likelihood, however, the most significant indicator in the years ahead will be the County's general population and its subsequent demographic sub-groups. As an example, one of those demographic subgroups very likely to have an impact are those in the age group of 65 and over. According to the North Carolina Office of Budget & Management's demographics section the projected numbers are as follows: Age Group 65 yrs. &older-2012 10.6%of County's Population Age Group 65 yrs. &older-2032 18.2%of County's Population Age Group's Total Increase: 121% Solutions for Local Government,Inc. 57
