Population movement in the USA
美國的人口流動
In this edition of American Living, we are looking at some population trends in the USA.
在這一版的《美國生活》中，我們討論美國人口趨向。
Aging in the sun
在陽光下變老
Older Americans are on the move.
美國老人在遷徒中。
Throughout the Midwest and the Northeast, people aged 60 and over are packing their bags and heading south along the freeway to states like Florida.
在整個中西部和東北部，60歲及以上的人正在收拾他們的行囊，沿著高速公路向南行進到類似佛羅里達州這樣的州去。
For some of these people the move is permanent, but for others it is only a few months of the year.
對其中一些人來說，搬遷是永久的；但對另一些人來說，這只是一年中的少數月份。
For decades, Florida has been attracting older residents.
幾十年來，佛羅里達州一直吸引著老年居民。
In fact, according to the national population survey conducted recently, Florida is home to the largest population of people aged 65 and older.
事實上，根據近期的全國人口普查，佛羅里達州有最多的65歲及以上年齡的人口。
This group makes up over 17 percent of the state's population.
這個人群大約占到該州人口的17％。
The national average was only about 12.7 percent, so it is not surprising that Florida is known as the oldest place in the USA.
全國平均水平只不過大約是12.7％，因此也就不奇怪佛羅里達州被認為是美國最老的地方。
