How many people are named Vennie, and how old are they?
An estimated 257 Americans named Vennie and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (18% of everyone recorded); the median is 75 years old and half are between 67 and 84. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 433 people named Vennie (295 women and girls, 138 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 353 born in the U.S. The Census count is 23% 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.
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).
