They are also generally a lot older and more politically motivated with a high level of distrust of immigration and globalisation. I have had "discussions" with older family members who want life to be like it was in the 1950s and 1960s and find the prospect of having the ability to live and work in the EU as abhorrent as living next door to French people.
I'm not saying all older people are like that but when you look at the figures the majority of older people did vote Brexit. If only younger people (mainly Remainers) had turned out in the numbers they did to bring Theresa May down to earth,
For interest(!), the below is a piece of analysis done by/for the BBC on voting trends in the referendum (this is dated Feb 17 but there might be a more recent version somewhere)

In summary:-
◾The level of education had a higher correlation with the voting pattern than any other major demographic measure from the census
◾The age of voters was also important, with older electorates more likely to choose Leave
◾The combination of education, age and ethnicity accounts for the large majority of the variation in votes between different places
