How many people are named Keron, and how old are they?
1,010 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 96% of the 1,046 Americans ever recorded as Keron. The median Keron alive today is 27 years old; half are between 19 and 36.
The 2020 Census counted 1,293 people named Keron (221 women and girls, 1,072 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 984 born in the U.S. The Census count is 31% 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.

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).
