An estimated 446 Americans named Zackory and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (97% of everyone recorded); the median is 30 years old and half are between 24 and 35. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 398 people named Zackory (0 women and girls, 398 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 451 born in the U.S. The Census count is 12% below that prediction.
