How many people are named Delories, and how old are they?
An estimated 566 Americans named Delories and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (45% of everyone recorded); the median is 78 years old and half are between 71 and 83. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 441 people named Delories (437 women and girls, 4 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 726 born in the U.S. The Census count is 39% 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.

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).
