Is Montana Full of Boomers? Data Says YES

"Okay, Boomer," a former co-worker was fond of saying, whenever someone in the office did or said something that wasn't Millennial or Gen Z. I would laugh. Usually, because it was funny, and also because I'm not a Boomer. I'm Gen X, baby. My parents - in their mid and late 70s - are Boomers.

Boomers in Montana have plenty of peers.

I received a fun report in my inbox today with data compiled by the folks at Kremp Florists. They took a deep dive into birthday stats for the United States, including the most popular birth year (and month) in each state.

The US has an aging population overall, and Baby Boomers dominate most states. Boomers are defined by those born between 1946 and 1964, and Montana takes the #3 spot for Boomers per capita. 1954 is the most common birth year in Montana, which means Montana has a surplus of 71-year-olds walking the street.

Hawaii and Oregon take the #2 and #1 spots for Boomer Babies, with the most people born in 1953. The "youngest states" include Alaska, with lots of 2010 birth years, Idaho, which has an abundance of 20-year-olds, born in 2005, and Utah wraps up the youngest Top 3, with a huge percentage of people born in 2004.

The Holiday Season should be called Baby-Making Season.

Perhaps turkey, prime rib, ham, and eggnog are aphrodisiacs, because the most popular birth month in America is August, roughly nine months after the Christmas season. In Montana, the most popular birth month is July, so perhaps parents were getting busier at hunting camp instead of under the mistletoe.
