TBF, baby boomers is anyone born in an 18 year period starting in 1946. So, if presidents are often in the age range of 45-70, which is pretty much the bell curve of presidential age distribution... 22/30 seems .... expected. I mean, you jave to be 35 to be president, and the presidents who were younger than 45 were extreme outliers.

In 1992, the first baby boomer is turning 46. In 2035, the last baby boomer will turn 71.

In 2000, the age range of boomers was everyone between 36 and 54 years old.

In 2004, the age range of boomers was everyone between 40 and 58 years old.

In 2008, the age range of boomers was everyone between 44 and 62 years old.

In 2012, the age range of boomers was everyone between 48 and 66 years old.

In 20q6, the age range of boomers i everyone between 52 and 70 years old.

We just live in the time where baby boomers are laregly comprised of ages rangin from 45 to 75. When thay age range is the typical presidential age range, it should be no surprise.
