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.
Code | Title |
---|---|
B01001†‡ | Sex by Age |
B01002† | Median Age by Sex |
B01003 | Total Population |
†Also available in racial iterations. ‡ Table also available in “collapsed” version: change “B” to “C” for table code. Note: There is no table C01001. |
Hundreds of ACS tables are tabulated by age and sex. So it’s not worth listing them all here. If you are looking for a table and it has what you want, but is also split by age and sex, you may have some of your own work to do. These tables always have the total in the first column, so you may just want that and disregard the tabulations. There are also usually columns for all male and all female, but if you want to count by age and not by sex, you will have to sum those values.
