How we measured this

The Census Bureau publishes age counts by block group. Where a block group crosses a neighborhood line, we split its people by the share of its land on each side, the same way we count population on neighborhood pages.

What would change the answer

These are survey estimates over five years, and splitting a block group by land assumes people live evenly across it, so treat small differences as ties. This page says where people live. It doesn't say who a neighborhood is for, and it isn't advice on where anyone should live.
