How many people are named Chaundra, and how old are they?
An estimated 540 Americans named Chaundra and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (94% of everyone recorded); the median is 49 years old and half are between 43 and 55. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 492 people named Chaundra (491 women and girls, 1 man or boy).
