To find the percentile for Wisconsin, where 11.6% of the residents are aged 65 or older, we need to determine how many states have a lower percentage of residents aged 65 and older than Wisconsin.

Looking at the stem plot, we can see that Wisconsin falls between the states with 10.5% and 11.7% of residents aged 65 and older. There are 13 states with a lower percentage of residents aged 65 and older than Wisconsin.

The total number of states is 50, so to find the percentile, we need to calculate (13/50) * 100 = 26%.

Therefore, Wisconsin is at the 26th percentile.
