How many people are named Steffon, and how old are they?
An estimated 828 Americans named Steffon and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (95% of everyone recorded); the median is 32 years old and half are between 24 and 39. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 678 people named Steffon (8 women and girls, 670 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 804 born in the U.S. The Census count is 16% 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.
