How many people are named Chazz, and how old are they?
1,310 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 97% of the 1,350 Americans ever recorded as Chazz. The median Chazz alive today is 28 years old; half are between 20 and 32.
The 2020 Census counted 1,145 people named Chazz (71 women and girls, 1,074 men and boys).

An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
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. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).
