Hurricane's senior (65+) population share ran 21.5% at the 2020 Census and has since RISEN to a real, disclosed approximately 25% by current estimates -- despite the city's own substantial 33.7% population growth over the same window. A rising share DESPITE growth is the opposite pattern from a stale, growth-diluted statistic; see this record's header for the full reasoning contrasting this with Washington, UT's own pattern.
