A State?s Median Age Does Not Tell The Whole Story

Florida?s median age in 2021 was 42.7, higher than the national median of 38.8 and that of neighboring Georgia (37.5). But even within Florida, the age structure varies widely, from 32.1 in Leon County to 68.3 in Sumter County ? the highest median age of any county in the nation.

A new U.S. Census Bureau interactive visualization shows the broad variations in age structure by state and county. The June release of population estimates by age, sex, race and Hispanic origin for 2020 and 2021 provides the most recent county-level estimates by demographic characteristics.

Hovering over a county on the map will give you the county?s population and its median age ? the midpoint at which one-half the population is older and one-half is younger. Clicking on a county gives you more details of the county?s age and sex structure, and population by race and ethnicity (race alone or in combination and by Hispanic origin).

Population characteristics at the county level reveal unique population attributes and varied demographic compositions within each state.
