@elenaholodny Is "most common" the same as the average?
Most common age in U.S among: Whites: 56 Asians: 27 African-Americans: 25 Hispanics: 9 http://www.census.gov/popest/data/national/asrh/2015/2015-nat-res.html … (June 2016)

most common is the mode, not the median or the mean

does Asian include Indian/Pakistani?
-
Yes. Those categories are the official Census race and ethnicity categories. Definitions: http://www.census.gov/topics/population/race/about.html …

Median?
-
Figured that was mode. Meant to ask what the median was. Probably less stark but still painting a similar picture

@ElectProject isn't the median way more helpful than the mode? -
given that it is probably simple & smooth, it tells you the location of the peak, which is interesting
-
I'm not sure that's true? 1960 was a solid Baby Boom year. Maybe not like 46, but still
-
...so wouldn't the peak being at 1960 births make sense? esp with older boomers dying faster now & some white immigration.
-
because really what we are looking at is that immigrants are younger (old people stay) and the right age to have children
-
I think we agree on the cause, effects, and rough data shape, I was just saying the mode probably caricatures the implied distribution
-
_anyone_ born in 60 in the US was one of the first generations with access to birth control; they had kids over the 70s, 80s, 90s, etc
-
ah yea, probably more white millennials than white boomers.

@jonahkeri moral of the story: we Hispanics love kids -
Tweet unavailable
-
we like larger families, that's what I am arriving at. Whether we can afford it or not
-
Tweet unavailable
-
whether Hispanics are poor or rich (and I have relatives in both sides) culture is the same

That statement applies to all races.
