A genuinely, dramatically older community profile
Harbor Springs' real, dramatically disclosed median age (62.9-64.9 years) and 49.8% 65-plus population share -- essentially half the town -- mean families with school-age children represent a genuinely small share of the overall community, more so than in almost any other market in this project's Michigan dataset. Only about 5.8% of residents are under 15.
