The average retirement age in the U.S. is 61, according to a 2022 Gallup survey. But the target age for retirement is 66.

I guess that number makes since to me. Seems like there would be a good bit that have to retire at 52 due to health issues and another bit that works till 74. With average average being 65-67 I would say 61 sound about right.
