The census counts everyone present in the State on census night, including visitors. Ages are published as single years up to 19, then in 5-year groups, and finally as 85 and over.
So the answer is exact for ages under 20. For older ages we assume people are spread evenly within their 5-year group, a small approximation that the result states.
This is a share of people, not of adults: babies and children count too, which is why most adults find that over a fifth of the population is younger than them.
