What if you multiply the percentages?

Viral posts often multiply separate statistics. This calculator counts marital status, education and income together in the same 2024 Census records, so it does not assume those traits are unrelated.

MEN / MULTIPLIED SEPARATELY7.91% of the age group, about 1 in 12

67.1% not married × 17.9% earn $100,000 or more × 65.7% BMI below 30

MEN / COUNTED TOGETHER4.87% of the age group, about 1 in 20

Multiplying makes these men look more common than the Census count shows.

WOMEN / MULTIPLIED SEPARATELY4.74% of the age group, about 1 in 21

60.1% not married × 12.5% earn $100,000 or more × 63.2% BMI below 30

WOMEN / COUNTED TOGETHER3.37% of the age group, about 1 in 29

Multiplying makes these women look more common than the Census count shows.

Each percentage is that filter’s share of men or women ages 25–35 in Maryland, rounded for display. Height, BMI and cigarette rates come from separate health surveys, so both methods apply them as rates.

Calculation details

Each row applies one more filter. Census traits are counted together; health filters use separate national surveys.
