The Gender Variable (DC701) and the Age Variable (DC702) have been recoded from the U.S. Census, American Community Survey (ACS) – The Premier Source in the USA.
The ACS survey data from 2005 to 2022 formed the empirical basis for this analysis. To extend the insights into 2023 and 2024, TheDC employed three forecast models that, when aggregated, closely align with the available US census aggregate estimates. The Data Corner projections for 2023 & 2024 are based of >50M records over 17 years.
DC701: Male vs. Female
1: Male
2: Female
3: Other
DC702: Individuals Age
* Age 0 = less than 1 year old/new born
* Ages 85 – 89 have been grouped together – 86.7 the average age has been assigned to identify the group
* Ages 90+ have been grouped together – 92.9 the average age has been assigned to identify the group * *0 – 84 years old: the rows indicate population for each age group
DC701: Male vs. Female Distribution of US Population
DC702: Average Age by Gender of US Population
The DC701 and DC702 metrics, drawn from a rich tapestry of census and survey data, portray an America steadily marching toward gender balance and collectively embracing the wisdom of its years. These trends are not mere statistics; they are the embodiment of cultural evolution, economic development, and healthcare advances. As policymakers and planners look ahead, these metrics serve as a compass, guiding towards a future that acknowledges and adapts to the intrinsic shifts within its people. Read more
