The calendar year 1967
1967 was a common year: 365 days, with 28 days in February. It opened on a Sunday.
1967 is Generation X
Births from 1965 to 1980 fall inside Generation X, putting 1967 3 of 16 years into the cohort.
Those cut-offs are the Pew Research Center definitions, which are the ones most US reporting follows. Pew itself notes that generational boundaries are a convention, not a hard science.

| 18 | 1985 | Legal adult — eligible to vote |

| 30 | 1997 | Turns 30 |
| 40 | 2007 | Turns 40 |
| 50 | 2017 | Turns 50 |
| 62 | 2029 → | Earliest age to claim Social Security retirement benefits |
| 65 | 2032 → | Medicare eligibility begins |
| 67 | 2034 → | Full Social Security retirement age (67) |
| 70 | 2037 → | Delayed retirement credits stop accruing |
Full retirement age by year of birth follows the Social Security Administration schedule set by the 1983 amendments. Driving, drinking, and rental thresholds are the common US rules and vary by state and company.
