    Delaware’s Process for Projecting Demographic and Population Estimates– Overview, Evolution, and the Future Role of the Delaware Population Consortium
    (Institute for Public Administration, 2022-08) O'Hanlon, Julia; O'Neill, Sean; Prickett, Lindsay
    This policy brief was developed by IPA as part of its partnership with and funding from the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) Planning Division. Information provided is intended to inform key stakeholders—including state agency staff, local government leaders, and community organizations in Delaware—about the history, evolution, and applications of the Delaware Population Consortium work and annual projections. In addition to its infrastructure and transportation policy team, IPA recognizes contributions to the document made by our DelDOT partners, the University of Delaware’s Center for Applied Demography and Survey Research (CADSR), the Delaware Office of State Planning Coordination (OSPC), and others interviewed as part of IPA’s fiscal year 2022 infrastructure work plan.

    The Role of Congregate Meals at Senior Centers—History, Trends, and Future Considerations
    (Institute for Public Administration, 2023-05-23) O'Hanlon, Julia; Prickett, Lindsay
    Between 2016 and 2060, the number of Americans aged 65 and older (65+) is projected to double. In Delaware, this population is projected to increase from about 164,000 in 2016 (17 percent of the total population) to over 268,000 (25 percent of the total population). While many older adults rely upon existing social networks and are capable of managing their own nutrition, many might benefit from congregate meal programs hosted by their community senior centers.
