Some of the key findings included in this report include:

Austin’s population is relatively young but aging rapidly. 
Population growth overall and among children took place along the edges of the city, whereas the older population grew fastest in West Austin. 
People 65 and older are the fastest growing age group in Austin, made up mostly of White older population, but the Asian older population grew the fastest. 
East Austin has increasing shares of White older adults and decreasing shares of older Black and Hispanic people. 
Although the child population grew between 2010 and 2020, children now make up a smaller share of the total population.  
Growth in the child population was driven mostly by Asian children, in contrast with a decline among Black and Latino children. 
The age distribution in Austin is heavily weighted by people of working age, especially those in their 20s and 30s. 
We have a strong ratio of workers to children and older adults, giving Austin a strong economic stance.
