Rappk. Population
Growing Younger
The population of Rappahannock County is getting younger all the time. Today, for every local resident who is older than 27.2, there is one who is younger. For that is the median age locally, estimated on the basis of national studies conducted by the Government. Just how much of a drop there has been in the age level in the last few years is indicated by a look at the 1960 figures. At that time, the median age locally was 28.9, according to the Census Bureau findings.
Elsewhere in the United States, the midpoint on the age scale is now 27.7 years
