America’s current Congress is far older than the population it represents: the median voting member is 60, compared with about 39.4 for U.S. residents. Congressional ages use the United States Congress Legislators roster (https://github.com/unitedstates/congress-legislators), while population data come from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Vintage 2025 estimates (https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/time-series/demo/popest/2020s-national-detail.html).

The older half of the voting-eligible population (roughly 48+ years old) accounts for a disproportionate number of votes cast in recent elections. Yes, this is a no-brainer, but this pattern is consistent, far more pronounced in midterms, and unlikely to change anytime soon.
