Utah has nation's youngest population

Nearly one-in-10 Utahns are under the age of 5, according to estimates for July 1, 2007, released today by the U.S. Census Bureau. And Utah has the nation's lowest median age, at 28.5 years. However, while Utah is youthful, it's also aging. By 2015, one Utahn will turn 65 every 23 minutes, says Debbie Booth, an information specialist for the Division of Aging and Adult Services. Because of that, Utah is projected to see a time when senior citizens outnumber youth.
