I sometimes hear women in New York lament that there are many more single gals than single guys around. To that I say: Just wait until you turn 90.
A new Census Bureau report finds that there were 457,155 men and 1,304,615 women over the age of 90 from 2006 to 2008. That’s almost three women for each man, not counting the younger singles they could pair with.
That works out to a lot of single female nonagenarians (and centenarians). Of men over 90, 42.9 percent are married. The share for their female counterparts is 6.3 percent.
