""The 2020 Census demonstrated the largest recent census-to-census percentage increase in the number of centenarians," per the Bureau's report. As of 2020, there were 2.4 centenarians for every 10,000 U.S. residents overall. By the numbers: Hawai'i (4.4 centenarians for every 10,000 residents), Rhode Island (4.0) and South Dakota (3.9) had the highest rates of centenarians per their overall populations as of 2020."
"A whopping 78.8% of U.S. centenarians are female, the Census Bureau says - which tracks with the life expectancy gender gap. About half of male centenarians live with others in a household, compared to around a third of their female counterparts. The 2020 cohort is slightly more racially diverse, with "white alone" members making up 74.6% of centenarians, down from 82.5% in 2010."
The 2020 Census counted about 80,100 centenarians nationwide, up from roughly 53,400 in 2010, marking the largest recent census-to-census percentage increase. There were 2.4 centenarians per 10,000 U.S. residents overall. Hawai'i, Rhode Island and South Dakota had the highest centenarian rates; Utah, Alaska and Nevada had the lowest. Women comprise 78.8% of centenarians. About half of male centenarians live with others, while around a third of female centenarians do. The 2020 centenarian cohort is more racially diverse, with "white alone" share falling to 74.6%. Data quality issues and pandemic impacts complicate interpretation.
