How many people are named Demonta, and how old are they?
An estimated 734 Americans named Demonta and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (97% of everyone recorded); the median is 27 years old and half are between 20 and 33. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 521 people named Demonta (9 women and girls, 512 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 715 born in the U.S. The Census count is 27% below that prediction.
