The median age of each U.S. state using the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
The Big Picture
The median age for the United States as a whole is 39 years, which is slightly lower than the median for all high-income countries (41). The median age for the nation is slowly rising and is expected to pass 40 in coming years.
Zooming in, most states have a lot of variance at the county level, with cities, colleges, and natural resource sites generally lowering the median age in a county. Explore median age differences within states using the Census Bureau’s interactive tool.
