Age and Sex

How the Census approaches the topics of age and sex.

Overview

Throughout the American Community Survey, data is broken down by age and sex. However, there are a few tables that are focused directly on these basic statistics.

Note: do not substitute the word “gender” for “sex.” Census Bureau specifically refers to the biological sex of survey respondents, not their gender presentation.

B01001: Sex by Age: provides the estimated count of men and women in age buckets, mostly of five years (e.g. 25 to 29 years, 30 to 34 years). Around the later teens and in the 60’s the brackets are of differing sizes, including a column for just 20-year-olds and another for just 21-year-olds.)
B01002: Median Age: provides the estimated median age for all people in the given geography, and then also for males and females separately.
B01003: Total population: a single column with the estimated total population for the geography. This value is the same as the first column of B01001 for a given geography.
