There are only a handful of states where men outnumber women.

The US Census Bureau recently released statistics from the <a id="c7b83d28-cb76-3e9f-a24a-a2be14a5112f" href="https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/"> 2017 American Community Survey </a> , an annual program that asks millions of Americans each year about several social, economic, and demographic attributes. The Bureau publishes figures for each of the 50 states and Washington DC.

One of the many metrics released by the Census Bureau is the sex breakdown of each state, expressed as the percent of male and female residents.

Some US states have older populations than others.

One of the questions on the survey asks for the ages of everyone living in a household. Using those answers, the Bureau publishes estimates of the median age for each state, or the age for which half of a state's population is older and half is younger than that age.

States in the western half of the country tend to have lower median ages than the eastern half. Utah, with a median age of 31.0 years, had the youngest population in the country, followed by DC with a median age of 34.0 years and Alaska with a median age of 34.5 years.

The three states with the oldest populations are all in New England. Maine had a median age of 44.6 years, followed by New Hampshire at 43.2 years, and Vermont at 42.6 years.
