The in-migration of adults of child-bearing age is playing a major role in the state’s current population trend, said Kevin Iverson, manager of the North Dakota Census Office.
Brower’s numbers show that the 285,000 people turning 65 this decade will be more than the past 40 years combined.
The state has created 123,000 new jobs since 2004, a 36.6 percent gain, and personal income has increased by more than 40 percent.
Part of the state’s growth is attributed to an exodus from the economically challenged US territory of Puerto Rico, which the Census report said declined in population by 1.7 percent over the past year.
By 2040, Brower said, the number of deaths will exceed the number of births.
Among the reasons: Many businesses are seeking fewer regulations and a less expensive workforce, while many Northern retirees are seeking warmer climates.
North Dakota withstood oil price problems with a population increase of 2.3 percent, the largest of any state, to 756,927.

Along with the growth in population the crowd is also getting younger in the state with the state’s median age population being 34.9 years.
