In Centennial, 28% of the population is aged 60 or older. The older residents outnumber the younger ones, aged 10 to 19 years old, by more than double. The median age for the city is 42.7. This information, from the federal government’s Census Reporter, hints at a generation gap. But an open house at the YMCA’s Centennial Center of Generations in Centennial over the weekend aimed to show how a sense of community can break down those barriers.
