How many people are named Alexah, and how old are they?
An estimated 535 Americans named Alexah and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 17 years old and half are between 13 and 22. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 427 people named Alexah (427 women and girls, 0 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 536 born in the U.S. The Census count is 20% below that prediction. Possible reasons: people who give a short form or another name to the Census, and a survival estimate that can run high.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made.
