51% of US business owners are at least 55: https://www.census.gov/library/visualizations/2020/comm/business-owners-ages.html https://www.census.gov/library/visualizations/2020/comm/busi...

The impetus of this particular thread and context of gp (sabbaticaldev) comment is "starting" a business at age 60. On the other hand, your cite seems to be survey of all businesses and gets a snapshot of whatever ages the business owners happen to be when the survey was done. In other words, maybe many of those 55+ business owners started when they were much younger?
