Age ain't nothing but a number — for Philly it's 39.3.
- That's the median age of a city resident in 2022, per census data.
Zoom in: Our median age ticked up one year since 2012.
Context: Philly residents have a lower median age than Detroit (40.4), Cleveland (41.8) and Tampa Bay (42.1).
- But we're older than Salt Lake City (34), D.C. (38.2) and Chicago (38.7) and a smidge higher than the overall U.S. population.
