5,740 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 50% of the 11,584 Americans ever recorded as Everette. The median Everette alive today is 46 years old; half are between 12 and 66.
The 2020 Census counted 4,891 people named Everette (329 women and girls, 4,562 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).

Where Everette is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Everette is most over-represented in North Carolina: since 1910 it was given 4.5 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among boys’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Everette with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
