How many people are named Demarko, and how old are they?
An estimated 668 Americans named Demarko and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (96% of everyone recorded); the median is 32 years old and half are between 20 and 39. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 474 people named Demarko (5 women and girls, 469 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 653 born in the U.S. The Census count is 27% below that prediction.
