47 is median age of Sardis Census Designated Place residents as of 2021
The city's population is significantly older than Ohio's median age, which sits at 39 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.
Data also shows that Sardis Census Designated Place's population leaned towards the 45 to 49 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.
