Median Age: We’re Number 38

America is growing older. In 1980, the median age in the United States was 30.0 years; in 2000, it was 35.0 years; in 2022, the figure stood at 38.9 years. This is a significant increase in the median age, and the United States has never been this old.

Japan is the oldest country, with a media age of 48.6 years, followed by Germany (47.8), Italy (46.5), Greece (45.3), and Slovenia (44.9). The United States ranks 38th in median age. By contrast, the youngest countries are in Africa, with 21 countries having a median age below twenty years old.
