How many people are named Daiquan, and how old are they?
An estimated 763 Americans named Daiquan and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (98% of everyone recorded); the median is 27 years old and half are between 23 and 31. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 581 people named Daiquan (10 women and girls, 571 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 749 born in the U.S. The Census count is 22% below that prediction.
