Who lives here — how many people, how old they are, and how communities identify.
Much older residents than most similar areas define Winton, where the typical person is 56. This small community of 103 people is shaped by a high number of seniors and a very low proportion of children.
The typical resident is 56 years old, which is far older than the state and national figures of 38 years. This makes the area much older than most other similar places.
Half the population is older than this age, and half younger.
