How many people are named Jorey, and how old are they?
An estimated 256 Americans named Jorey and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (97% of everyone recorded); the median is 30 years old and half are between 19 and 34. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 328 people named Jorey (86 women and girls, 242 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 248 born in the U.S. The Census count is 32% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out, and it records the name people give, which SSA may have recorded under another spelling or as part of a compound name.

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).
