age group
Survey classification segment
An age group is a category of people within a particular age range: the 18-to-24 age group, children in the same age group.
The term appears in demographics, marketing, medical research, and sports competitions where participants are sorted by age.
The boundaries vary by context—census data might use five-year intervals while youth soccer uses single years.
