(RECAP: Virginia’s population could surpass 10 million by 2040 if current trends continue. The state — currently the 12th-most populous in the United States at an estimated 8.4 million people — is on pace to go into the top 10, with nonwhites making up a majority of the population by 2040. The report also predicts a rapidly aging population, with the number of seniors doubling by 2030. By then, one in five Virginians will be over age 65, with much of that growth concentrated in rural areas.)
