Transgender population in the US
Just like the overall population, the transgender population varies greatly across the states. This recent data from the Williams Institute January 2022 report, “How Many Adults and Youth Identify as Transgender in the United States” utilizes data from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and advanced statistical modeling to estimate the number of youth and adults who identify as transgender in all 50 states. This data also provides nationwide estimates of Americans who identify as transgender by age group, with .5% of the U.S. adult population identifying as transgender, as compared to 1.4% for American youth ages 13-17.
