How many people are named Jhalil, and how old are they?
An estimated 461 Americans named Jhalil and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 15 years old and half are between 8 and 22. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 289 people named Jhalil (1 woman or girl, 288 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 391 born in the U.S. The Census count is 26% 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.
