How many people are named Mieshia, and how old are they?
An estimated 144 Americans named Mieshia and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (97% of everyone recorded); the median is 38 years old and half are between 34 and 45. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 131 people named Mieshia (131 women and girls, 0 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 146 born in the U.S. The Census count is 10% 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.
