Hmmm. I'll slip in "older". I think it gets the 中高年層 message across.

おひとりさま【お一人・お独り様】
独りで生活している女性。

...

未婚だったり離婚したりして独りで暮らしている、*****おもに中高年層の女性を指す*****。本人が自分自身のことを指して言う場合も多い。一応自分の給料でやりくりできているので、その生活が気楽きらくでよい、または気楽だが独りは寂さびしいという含みを持つ言い方である。

This may work, but I'm hoping it catches Rene's attention as he put this sense in. If this gets accepted the 負け犬 entry needs aligning.

"over the age of 30" seems oddly specific
(and at odds with how words really work in 
the real world)
