The age range with the highest incidence in Bournemouth is 20-24.
Check this site: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/census2001/pyramids/printV/00HN.asp
The percentage of the population over 65 (in 2001) was
Males: 17%
Females: 24%
TOTAL: 21%
Admittedly, that is higher than many places, but still not excessive. Bournemouth, like many seaside resorts on the south coast, is a popular place for retirement because the sea air is supposed to be good and also, owing to demand, facilities for the retired are good, so it's self-perpetuating.
In fact, 63% of the population are between 15 and 64 and therefore are of working age and have earning potential (66% male, 61% female). As I said, the age group with the highest number are young people between 20 and 24 (8% of the total population).
Please don't think (as many do) that once one is 65, one is old and 'past it'! That is a terrible, ageist misconception that is worse than saying 'if you are not white, you are therefore a criminal'!

It's actually called Bournemouth.
No idea but it's not such a retirement town now.
