West Jordan is lowest in nation for senior citizens

West Jordan has the lowest percentage of seniors of any city in America with a population of at least 100,000. Just 4.6 percent of its residents are older than 65, two-thirds lower than the national average, according to U.S. Census data released Wednesday. Meanwhile, the new Census analysis also shows that Utah — with its highest-in-the-nation birthrate — finished second-lowest among the states behind Alaska for its percentage of residents older than 65, as older folks here are vastly outnumbered by kids.
