We’re really aging, Bay Area. And fast.
Marin County, our undisputed grandparent, shot up to a median age of 48.2 — a full decade older than the region’s young in Santa Clara County. After COVID started, San Francisco’s median age — meaning half the population is older and half younger — shot up 2 years to 40.5 in just two years. In Santa Clara County, experts say that the affordability crisis is offset by tech companies, which attract young families who keep the county’s population on the younger side. In other parts of the region, like Marin County, young people are being repelled by theand are not drawn back by compelling job prospects. In 2022, Marin had a median age more than 9 years above the national median.
San Francisco’s median age spiked almost 2 years after 2020, a direct link to the pandemic when young people who could work remotely fled big urban centers for more space.
