I tried to get rid of people under 21 by reducing the population from 320M to 300M, but I guess I should look and see what the actual numbers are.

"People under 21 years of age made up over a quarter of the U.S. population (27.1%)" (

)
So the population over 21 is about 230M.

Hmm... That's a higher fraction than I expected. It could be much lower 20 years from now.

Yeah, very well could be if the birth rate drops or life expectancy keeps rising.
