Baby Boomers make up about 26 percent of the population Many of our most recent Baby Boomer statistics come from the 2006 data gathered by the U.S. Census Bureau. At that time, there were approximately 78 million Baby Boomers, which was 26.1 percent of the general population.
There are just over 40 million Americans age 65 and older, and they make up 13 percent of the population. By 2030, when all the baby boomers will have passed age 65, the over-65 crowd will reach 20 percent of the population. At that time the median age of Americans will increase to 39.6 years, up from 37.2 today and a significant increase from a little under 30 in the 1960s and '70s.
