The median age in the U.S. has never been higher as declining birthrates, slowing immigration and the steady aging of baby boomers combine to extend a decades-long national maturing.
From 2021 to 2022, the nation’s median age — at which half the population is younger and half is older — increased 0.2 of a year to an all-time high of 38.9 years, according to U.S. Census Bureau population estimates released Thursday.
The country’s median age was 37.8 years for men and 40 years for women.
