Demographic Shifts

Seniors now comprise 23 percent of the peninsula's population (give or take).

According to Jeff Sachse, labor force analyst  for Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development the trend will be for this to climb to 33 percent by 2010.  Aging baby boomers are staying and younger people are leaving.

Additionally, the peninsula has the highest concentration of wealth of any non-metropolitan county in the state.

Per capita income of $40,124 is behind only Dane, Ozaukee, Washington and Waukesha counties.

Not bad for a relatively sparse population of 28,000 residents.
