The given table gives a breakdown of the proportions of people aged under 18 and over 60 
in California, Utah and Florida, as well as their average annual income and population who 
are very poor. 
It is clear that Florida has more elderly people than California and Utah, and people in 
Florida and California boasted higher income despite having a larger percentage of them 
living in poverty.
Utah has the largest percentage of young people aged under 18 (28%), followed by 
California (17%) and Florida (16%). It is surprising to note that Florida with the lowest 
percentage of people under 18, has the highest number (23%) of those aged 60+, while the 
figure for Utah is the lowest, which is about one-third that of Florida for the same age group. 
Although residents in California have the highest average yearly income per person among 
the three ($23,000), 16% of Californian people are poor. In contrast, only 9% of the people of 
Utah are below poverty line, whereas the average income in this state is only $17,000.
