How many people are named Skilar, and how old are they?
An estimated 461 Americans named Skilar and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 14 years old and half are between 10 and 21. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 367 people named Skilar (286 women and girls, 81 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 407 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.
