• The American Towns That Are Getting Younger (worldatlas.com) — King City’s median age dropped from nearly 64 to about 59 between 2010 and 2020, even as it remains much older than the nation overall. The article traces how the city evolved from an age-restricted retirement community into a "community for all ages," highlighting its original golf-centered design, newer all-ages neighborhoods, and the riverside King City Community Park that now anchors local celebrations.
