The senior adult population is growing faster than other age groups in Lewisville, Flower Mound and Highland Village, government surveys show.

That is six times higher than the growth rate recorded in younger age groups.

Editor's note: The map below shows the change in senior population as a share of total population from 2014 to 2019. The darker the shade, the faster the senior population grew in that time. The "change" number in each popup box may not exactly match the difference between 2014 and 2019 because of rounding.
