Beech Grove residents have median age of 36 as of 2021

Published 02/19/24

Beech Grove recorded a median age of 36 years old among its 15,202 residents in 2021, according to U.S. Census Bureau data obtained by Mifeed.

The city's population is slightly younger than Indiana's median age, which sits at 38 years old.

Unlike the average age, the median age is the age that splits a population into two halves: one half younger than the median and the other half older. While the average can be influenced by outliers, the median is generally less susceptible to extreme values, making it a more reliable measure of the population's age tendency.

According to the 2021 census, the median age varied across different ethnicities in the state. White residents had a median age of 38 years old, while the median age for African Americans was 29 years old. The Asian population was median age is 45 years old, and Hispanics had a median age of 18 years old.

Data also shows that Beech Grove's population leaned towards the 35 to 39 years demographic.

OurWorldinData.org, an online project tracking global data and trends, says cities, states, countries and continents with higher median ages typically do better economically and residents earn higher wages than developing countries.

The median age among U.S. citizens reached 38.9 years between 2021 and 2022, a record high in the country. A third of America's states registered median ages higher than 40 years old, with Maine achieving the highest of 44.8 years.
