How many people are named Mckinlee, and how old are they?
1,570 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 99% of the 1,582 Americans ever recorded as Mckinlee. The median Mckinlee alive today is 11 years old; half are between 7 and 16.
The 2020 Census counted 1,095 people named Mckinlee (1,065 women and girls, 30 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,225 born in the U.S. The Census count is 11% 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.

| Millennials | 1981-1996 | 21 |

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).

States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ names in the state in 2025.
