what is the average age of daca recipient
Illinois (5%), New York (5%), Florida (4%) and Arizona (4%) also have significant populations of active DACA recipients. Two-thirds of DACA recipients are ages 25 or younger, and a majority are women. Women make up a slight majority (53%) of active DACA recipients, while 47% are men, according to the tabulations from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The average age of âDreamersâ enrolled in DACA is 24 years old. Those 25 and younger make up two-thirds of active DACA recipients â 29% are ages 16-20 and 37% are ages 21-25. About a quarter (24%) are ages 26-30, while one-in-ten (11%) are ages 31-36. (No DACA recipients are older than 36 because the program required applicants to have entered the U.S. before their 16th birthday and have been under the age of 31 as of June 15, 2012.) Most current DACA recipients (83%) were unmarried at the time of their most recent application.
