COSHOCTON — Fewer people in Coshocton County are living in traditional married-couple households than in 2000. This is partially because the population is getting older.

The U.S. Census Bureau released more details on the 2010 population counts today. The census asked the U.S. Population about age, sex, race and housing.

The median age (half above, half below) in Coshocton County has increased to 40.8 in 2010 from 37.8 in 2000. The oldest area, Plainfield, increased to 50.5 from 39. Conesville and Nellie are tied as the youngest areas, with a median age of 37.5. Nellie has stayed the same age throughout the decade, while Conesville increased from 35.3.
