Since 2008, the median age of North Dakota residents has declined to last year\u2019s 35.3 years of age, making North Dakota the fourth youngest state behind Utah, Alaska and Texas.<\/p>\n<p>Additional demographic information will be released by the Census Bureau later in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The District of Columbia \u00a0remains one of the fastest-growing places in the U.S. when compared to states.
