About this ranking

Age that divides the resident population of a US county into two halves of equal size on 1 July, from Census Bureau population estimates calculated by single year of age.

Counties only: the county file has no state or national medians, and medians cannot be added up. A single-year estimate, unlike median_age, which for US places is a five-year American Community Survey estimate.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the counties are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
