Espers seems only students of Academy City, but espers exist for more than 20 years at least, so normally there should be some adult espers (I'm referring to normal esper, not gemstones, for they could be even adults, not being Academy City students, and with "adults" I'm referring about men/women aged about 30 year and older). Anyway, they never appeared. Then, I have some theories:

1 - When an esper becomes adult he/she may lost his/her ability. It may be caused by a change in his/her Personal Reality because his/her personality changed (grew), or maybe it depends on the Level (a Level 0-1 will quit be an esper before the superior levels).

2 - An adult esper can decides to quit being one and go through a procedure that can remove his/her ability. Obviosly, if the adult non-esper will leave Academy City, it will use some sort of insurance to avoid leaking of it's technology informations (like implanting a chip/nanomachine/or some cutting edge micro stuff which releases a virus/pulse/or some cutting edge reaction that destroys organs or the like when it percieves that the ability is activated, killing the user and preventing any informations recovery from the corpse).

3 - Adult espers are used by the dark side either like a special secret force or as experimental subjects, like Child Errors in Dark May Project.
