Look at this list. Population under 18 years, percent by State.

Idaho 25.5%
Alaska 24.9%
Nebraska 24.7%
South Dakota 24.7%
Oklahoma 24.3%
Kansas 24.2%
Georgia 23.8%
Mississippi 23.6%

Just like I said. It looks like from the original list that 7 of 10 for the youngest, and 8 of 10 for the oldest, match this. Some that aren’t on both make sense. California and Colorado make the youngest list while not being on birth rate one, but a lot of young people move to both those states. And New York and Oregon are on the lowest birth rate, but not on the oldest for the same reason.

I think you mean Virginia. Virginia's western counties seceded from the rest of Virginia during the Civil War( 1863 ?) and became the new Union state of West Virginia.

And you forgot Hawaii. Statehood in 1959.

It is a rural low population density with a very high level of out-migration, that is why population growth rates are relatively low there. The only county that is growing substantially is Johnson County, a suburb of the Kansas City metro area. Yes, the Hispanic population is younger than the national average, with Finney, Ford, and Seward counties being majority minority. All three are major meat packing counties located in SW Kansas. Wyandotte County (Kansas City, KS) has a high birth rate and Wichita, KS (Sedgwick County) is younger than the national average. The rest of the state minus the college towns and Ft. Riley military installation are very elderly with fast declining populations.

The counties in KS with the youngest populations are Ford, Finney, Seward, and Wyandotte. The first three are rural meatpacking plant dominated places in the middle of nowhere in SW Kansas. Wyandotte County is mostly Kansas City, KS with the remaining two incorporated cities are Bonner Springs and Edwardsville. Wichita, KS, (Sedgwick County), is younger than the national average as well. The rural counties are very elderly with fast declining populations due to farm and ranch consolidation needing fewer workers every year. Oil and gas related energy sector employment is also a small fraction of what occurs in the states south of it like Oklahoma and Texas. Renewable energy development like wind and solar are growth sectors for a number of rural counties, helping with county tax revenues via wind turbine lease payments to landowners.

The US is going to be aging at an even faster rate shortly. Compare 2008 to 2018.
