I don't have the numbers on hand but I would not be surprised to find out that the median age for the NY-NJ-CT-PA CSA is higher than the national median age. As the massive boomer generation begins reaching the u.s. life expectancy (which its oldest members just did since it has been 78 years since the end of the war) older population areas will feel the effect of their gradual passing more acutely and sooner than other areas. It's sad to consider, but that seems to be the incoming demographic shift.
I do see that these states which make up the CSA have some of the highest median ages in the country.
Florida is a huge outlier for the obvious reason that it is Florida and its migration has been massive in recent history.

The median age of NY metro is 39, which is the same as the national median age of 39.
