THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF NEW MEXICO ARE CHANGING. WITH THAT IN MIND, ALBUQUERQUE CITY DEPARTMENT DIRECTORS ARE SHARING IDEAS ON HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE AGING POPULATION. SENIOR AFFAIRS DIRECTOR JORJA ARMIJO-BRASHER TELLS US 50 PERCENT OR MORE OF THE STATE'S POPULATION WILL BE 50 YEARS OLD OR OLDER BY THE YEAR 2030.
SHE SAYS THE CITY NEEDS TO HAVE SERVICES IN PLACE OVER THE NEXT 15 YEARS OR SO AS THERE WILL BE MORE PEOPLE AGED 65 AND OLDER THAN THERE WILL BE INDIVIDUALS AGED 18 AND YOUNGER.
