The United States population has been aging for decades and is now older than it has ever been
The median age of the US population reached a record high of 38.9 years in 2022, according to new estimates from the US Census Bureau. That’s an increase of about 3.5 years since 2000, and a jump of 0.2 years in the past year alone. Births outnumbered deaths last year but not enough to shift the overall pattern of aging, according to the Census Bureau estimates. Other federal data shows that the US birth rate has been trending down for years.
Nearly all states saw their population grow older between 2021 and 2022, according to the new Census Bureau data. In about a third of states, more than half of the population was older than 40 in 2022. Maine had the highest median age of 44.8 years, while Hawaii saw the greatest increase. Utah had the lowest median at 31.9 years, followed by the District of Columbia and Texas. The new data from the Census Bureau also shows growing diversity in the US population.
