How many people are named Laury, and how old are they?
An estimated 802 Americans named Laury and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (86% of everyone recorded); the median is 61 years old and half are between 46 and 67. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 1,311 people named Laury (1,218 women and girls, 93 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 816 born in the U.S. The Census count is 1.6 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Laury rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.
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).
