JUNE 2, 2020 — A new report released today by the U.S. Census Bureau shows that while the overall population of veterans is declining, the number of female veterans is on the rise and Post 9-11 veterans have the highest rate of service-connected disability compared to any other group of veterans.
Highlights include:
The number of veterans in the United States declined by about a third, from 26.4 million to 18.0 million between 2000 and 2018.
Fewer than 500,000 World War II veterans were alive in 2018, down from 5.7 million in 2000.
Women make up a growing share of veterans. About 1.7 million, or 9% of veterans, were women in 2018. It is projected that number will jump to 17% by 2040.
