Dorset's aging population is a significant trend, with the median age increasing from 47 to 51 years between 2011 and 2021. Currently, 29% of the population is over the age of 65, which is one of the highest percentages in the country. The population aged 65 and over is projected to grow by 22% between 2025 and 2035, indicating a substantial increase in the elderly demographic. This demographic shift is expected to lead to increased demand for social care services, as the number of residents aged 75 and older is projected to grow significantly.
