Claim 2: “The roughly 60 million Americans age 65 and older make up the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. population.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The specific phrasing and statistics are found in an NPR source. While a Chegg result mentions senior citizens as a fast-growing group, it is an AI-generated tip for a math problem and not a factual news report. No other independent authoritative sources in the provided evidence confirm the '60 million' figure or the 'fastest-growing segment' status.
