Yes but, the effect of those earlier records is now completely died down (so to speak). Per PBS, Pew research , and the US Census

  • In 1950 there were about 15 centarians per million people

  • In 2000, there were about 50,000 centarians per million people

  • In 2010, there were 53,364

  • In 2020, there were 80,139

  • In 2024, about 101,000

Wonder why the drop around 2010.

At first I thought Covid until I looked more closely at the labels on the x axis.

Maybe it was the fema camps. Thanks Obama?

That was just slightly after the housing bubble crisis from 2008. Maybe that’s related.

Edit: oh right it’s percentage of population. Maybe there were more births?
