Looking again at the latest household numbers released by the Census Bureau last week, it is surprising--perhaps shocking--that the number of households headed by 55-to-64-year-olds fell between March 2008 and March 2009, even though the age group was expanding with baby boomers.
The number of people aged 55 to 64 climbed by nearly 1 million between 2008 and 2009 (up by 987,000). At the same time, the number of households headed by 55-to-64-year-olds fell by 26,000.
Not a good sign.

I don't get it. What are all those baby boomers doing? Are they in single person HHs? Or have they moved in with their children who head their own households?
