Theaverage number of persons per household was 3.12 in 19S0, but declined to 2.78 in 1990. Thisdecrease in household size is consistent with the county’s decline from 3.02 persons per household in19SO to 2.80 in 1990. This may be explained in part by a national trend towards smaller householdsdue to later marriages, fewer children, more divorces, and a greater number of elderly living alone.Also, 187 of the 1,066 households in the borough consisted of one person living alone. Of thesehouseholds, 96 consisted of a single person, 65 years of age or older. Forty-three of these householdsor 45 percent, consisted of a female, 65 years of age or older.Of the 3,069 people living in the borough in 1990, 1,538 were male and 1,53 1 were female. Nearly12.2 percent of the population was age 65 or older. Approximately 26 percent of the population wasbelow the age of IS. A 7 percent increase in children 0-4 years occurred between 1980 to 1990.Chalfont has also seen a 27 percent decrease between 19SO to 1990 in the number of school’ agechildren between the ages of 5 and 14, from 543 to 386 children.Population PyramidsTo gain a better understanding of the age distribution of the borough’s population, populationpyramids are provided in Figure 2. These pyramids display the number of people in a particular agegroup, or cohort, by sex,The population for the borough in 1990 displays a significant bulge at the 3044 cohort group. Thisbulge represents the last portion of the baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964.A comparison of the population pyramids of Chalfont and Bucks County shows not only the similarbulges of baby boomers and their children, but also that the bulges are lower on the Bucks Countypyramid indicating a lower average age.Chalfont Borough Comprehensive Plan Updale DraftI I
