CountiesLoving County

Summary

Every Texas county, shaded by median age. Darker counties have an older midpoint. County borders are the U.S. Census Bureau cartographic boundary (cb_500k).

In a typical Texas county the median resident is 39.3 years old, the midpoint of the 254 county medians the Census published. That is not a Texas figure: a county median is the age that splits one county's residents in half, and averaging those numbers would treat Loving County the same as Harris. Jim Hogg is the youngest at 25.0, Loving the oldest at 68.9. Seven counties come in under 30, twenty are 50 or older, and the large urban counties run younger than the typical county, Harris at 34.4 and Dallas at 34.0.

Summary

Every county the Census published, all 254, ranked from oldest to youngest. Loving leads at 68.9, then Kenedy at 65.5 and Terrell at 60.9, tiny far-West and South Texas counties rather than the Hill Country retirement towns that follow (Jeff Davis 58.7, Menard 58.0, Kent 57.6, Llano 57.5). Jim Hogg is youngest at 25.0, with Brazos, home of Texas A&M, next at 26.8. Seven counties sit under 30 and twenty are 50 or older. The middle county is 39.3. The large metros run younger than that typical county: Hidalgo 30.3, Dallas 34.0, Harris 34.4, Bexar 34.6, Tarrant 35.1 and Travis 35.5.

Male and female median age

Female against male · one point per row, 254 of 254 plotted

Summary

Each point is one county, all 254. The male and female medians track each other (correlation 0.81), but women are older in 209 counties and men in 41, with a typical gap of 1.9 years. The outliers are almost all thinly peopled places where a handful of residents can move the estimate: Kenedy shows women 24.7 years older, Foard shows men 23.9 years older. A county median is still only that county's midpoint, not a state figure.

Summary

The full dataset: all 254 counties with median age for everyone, for men and for women, sorted by median age and re-sortable on any column. Use the filter box to jump straight to a county by name. The Census published a figure for every Texas county, so no cells are suppressed. Each number is a median for that county alone, so the column cannot be averaged into a state figure; that would weight Loving County the same as Harris.

About this data

Median age is the age that splits a county's residents in half. It is not the average age.
A county median is the midpoint for that county, so county figures cannot be averaged to produce a state figure.
The Census published a median age for all 254 Texas counties; none were suppressed.
Sex-specific medians in the smallest counties can move a long way on a handful of people, and group quarters such as prisons can pull the male figure.
