Aging Tsunami: In Montana, Aging in Place Takes a Village – Montana is 20 years ahead of the nation.

Circle, Montana — There is no part of life in McCone County, Montana, where the community’s age has not begun to show. Farmers have gone gray. There were some dozen funerals last winter. Each year makes more widows.

Nearly 25 percent of McCone County’s 1,700 residents are already over 60, a bellwether for changes that will soon roll across Montana. State projections show a quarter of Montanans will be seniors by 2030, twenty years before the same demographic shift hits the nation as a whole.
