BARNSTABLE, Mass. - When Leon Michelove sits back to enjoy the Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra, it's obvious to him something about the audience has changed.

"All of the hair is gray," said the 75-year-old Barnstable resident. "When we started here 10 years ago, that was not the case."

Since 1990, the median age on the scenic arm jutting out from the mainland has risen about seven years, from around 39 to just under 46. Nationwide, the median age of 36.4 rose about half as much during the same time, according to Peter Francese, director of demographic forecasts at the New England Economic Partnership.

They need to drop the real estate prices, "younger" people can't afford to buy there.
Even people in their 50's can't afford it! lol
What do they expect?
