Is age ordinal or quantitative?
There seems to be some confusion over variable being measured (age is ratio, period) and the way in which it is measured (always a discrete variable, so the measurement by ranges of ages is ordinal, but age is ratio).
Is age considered nominal data?
Is Age Nominal or Ordinal Data? Age can be both nominal and ordinal data depending on the question types. I.e “How old are you” is used to collect nominal data while “Are you the firstborn or What position are you in your family” is used to collect ordinal data.

Age is considered a ratio variable because it has a “true zero” value. It’s possible for an individual to be zero years old (a newborn) and we can say that the difference between 0 years and 10 years is the same as the difference between 10 years and 20 years.
