U.S. Vice Presidents by Generation

Were you wondering, like me, if we’ve ever had a Generation X Vice President? Here, you will find a list of every V.P. we’ve had and what generation they were born into.

Generations and Microgenerations: Their Changing Values and Focus

As I read and write about different generations and the microgenerations that span across them, there is something I have come to notice: Their values and focus shift as a group. When I made a chart about generational stereotypes, which you can check out here and here, I saw that each generation possessed a different ‘orientation’. Baby Boomers are community-oriented.

Micro-Generations Stereotypes Chart

Micro-Gens, You Say? Oftentimes, those of us born on the cusp of a generational range don’t align well with the stereotypes of that generation. For example, a Gen Xer born in 1979 might find they have some traits in common with Gen X, but also display many traits associated with Millennials. This realization has led to the acknowledgement of micro-generations that span the tails of the generational bell curves. These groups, then, have their own traits more in common with each other than with the macro-generations that come before or… Read More »Micro-Generations Stereotypes Chart

U.S. Governors (2026) by Generation

So, what do you think? In the year 2026, do we have more Baby Boomer Governors in the U.S., or more Generation X Governors? The answer might surprise you! Here is a list of all the Governors, as of early 2026, and the generation to which they belong.

US Capitol building

119th U.S. Congress – House of Representatives – Generational Makeup

The 2025-26 U.S. House of Representatives has 435 members. Are there more Baby Boomers or Generation X? How many Gen Z members are there? Are there still Silent Generation members? All your questions can be answered here! Does it matter? Truthfully, I’m not sure. But understanding how this body is constructed, correlated with how it functions, can’t be entirely useless information. I won’t draw my own conclusions here, but drop a comment if you’ve drawn any from this data. And the table is interactive, so play with the sorting arrows… Read More »119th U.S. Congress – House of Representatives – Generational Makeup

US Capitol building

119th U.S. Congress – Senate – Generational Makeup

Do the Baby Boomers still dominate the U.S. Senate, or Generation X? Have you ever wondered what the generational makeup of the Senate is? Are you curious about how many members of Gen Z are Senators? Well, the answer to that one is zero, because the age limit for the Senate is 30, and Gen Z is not quite old enough in 2026. Here, find a list of each Senate member, their birth year, and corresponding generation. And don’t forget to check back next year for a breakdown of the… Read More »119th U.S. Congress – Senate – Generational Makeup
