<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 18, 2012) At McBrier Park Manor, a retirement community in Hermon, the common room is simply laid out: a sofa, a few chairs, a table, and a TV.

<title>As Hamilton County ages, will communities hang on?</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17657/20110516/as-hamilton-county-ages-will-communities-hang-on</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (May 16, 2011) Last week, the US Census found that the New York population is aging much faster than the rest of New York state. The average resident in St. Lawrence County is forty years old. The number of young children in the county, below age five, dropped ten percent over the last decade. In Hamilton County, the median age is even higher – more than 51 years old. That’s thirteen years older, on average, than New York state as a whole. Brian Mann was in Hamilton County last week talking to people about the Census findings and what these numbers mean for their communities. He talks with Martha Foley.
