How the Ages Are Worked Out

Social Security records count the babies given each name in every year since 1880. For each birth year, we keep the share of people still alive in 2025, from the Social Security actuaries' life tables, and line the survivors up by age. The middle age is the age of the person in the middle of that line; "half are" gives the ages between which the middle half of them fall. The ages are as of 2025.
