General Plan Update - City of Inglewood

2.7 Age Distribution of Population
• As shown in Table 2-8 and Figure 2-5, in both Inglewood and Los Angeles County, the
age group 35 to 64 is the largest portion of the population. This broad age group is
considered to be the most experienced segment of the labor force.
• As shown, in both Inglewood and Los Angeles County, those under age 18 are continuing
to become an even larger segment of the population. This group consists primarily of
minors who are not of working age. With increased childhood populations, growing
needs for more children and youth services will continue.
• In both Inglewood and Los Angeles County, those in the entry level labor force age
group, 18 to 34 years of age, have declined significantly from their 1990 levels.
• With respect to those 65 years and over, the proportion of the population in this age
group has remained relatively constant in both the City of Inglewood and Los Angeles
County as a whole.
