The following three links below will allow you to access the Avi Chai Foundation studies by Dr. Marvin Schick that NASI used to estimate an annual 3.5%(?) annual American Orthodox Jewish population growth to derive a conclusion that the estimated average age gap between Chasanim and Kallahs is causing many woman to figuratively be left at the altar without any more available single men in an appropriate age:

1. Census of Jewish Day Schools, 1998-99

2. Census of Jewish Day Schools, 2003-04

3. Census of Jewish Day Schools, 2008-09

The first two is what NASI used for their calculations while the last one was published afterwards.

Note: I am not vouching for the accuracy of their methodology used to draw their conclusions from the above studies.
