Median age.
This measure has no better end. The order describes the states, it does not rank them — see the other direction.
Half the population is older than this, half younger. Neither direction is better — a low median often means families and college towns, a high one means retirees and places young people have left. Read it alongside population trend.
Utah has the lowest published median age in this comparison, at 32.5 yrs. The next states shown are District of Columbia (34.9 yrs) and Texas (35.9 yrs).
The table orders 51 states by median age. It describes one published measure, not an overall judgment about where to live.
Use the result as a starting point, then compare the underlying source, dates, and local county figures before making a decision. Half the population is older than this, half younger. Neither direction is better — a low median often means families and college towns, a high one means retirees and places young people have left. Read it alongside population trend.
Free to use. The chart names its source and links back, so it stays honest wherever it ends up.
