Hi, former Florida-man here. Is this accounting for the considerably larger portion of old people in FL vs NY? 42.1% vs 45.6% 45+, 15.4% vs 19.3% 65+ for NY and FL respectively.

Methodology: Took the Florida 2010 and estimated 2020 numbers and averaged them together to get a "2015" estimate, then compared it to the 2016 NY data.
