How many people are named Jeannetta, and how old are they?
An estimated 804 Americans named Jeannetta and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (53% of everyone recorded); the median is 64 years old and half are between 52 and 75. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 786 people named Jeannetta (784 women and girls, 2 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 912 born in the U.S. The Census count is 14% 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.
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).
