Three key takeaways from this chart:

1. The most common age in America last year was 22. There were more 22 year olds, than any other age group.

2. What's the "middle age"? Looking at a true median shows the middle age in America was 37.6 years old. Exactly 50% of Americans
were younger, while the other 50% were older.

3. Check out the youngest generation. Today's babies mark the first generation where whites make up only 50% of the population.
The Census Bureau predicts white kids will no longer make up a majority in just a few years.
