How many people are named Shamicka, and how old are they?
An estimated 166 Americans named Shamicka and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (96% of everyone recorded); the median is 43 years old and half are between 39 and 46. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 185 people named Shamicka (185 women and girls, 0 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 167 born in the U.S. The Census count is 11% 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.
