    I find this insanely interesting. I hope someone does this for us Xers but I have a feeling that everyone will forget about us.

    And with this, I’m also interested in the rate of change here. Are boomers dying faster, slower, steady rate?

      It would be very surprising if the rate was steady. Boomers are ages 59 to 77 today. The ones who have died have been on the younger side, but it won’t be long until most are within a standard deviation for average lifespan.

      Also, there weren’t the same number of boomers born every year. In fact, 1946 had a spike of them, and the rate started falling off each of the last seven years or so of the range. So we started with more older boomers than younger boomers.

      As an interesting side note: I have heard multiple times that Gen X is the Trumpiest and most conservative leaning generation, even more than Boomers or Silver. I find it plausible. The silver generation has old progressive labor movement diehards, and boomers have hippies. But Gen X never really had a progressive culture movement. They came of age during Reagan and Clinton.

        The good news is, there isn’t many of us. Boomers and Millennials are the two biggest groups.

        But yeah I already hear BS like, back in my days we roam the streets blah blah blah from folks my age.

      I’d bet this site just uses something like a census base percentage, apredicted end date and a countdown clock that creates the percentage/rate.
