edit. Holy shit, I had no idea "In 2014, there were 72,197 Americans aged 100 or older, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That number is up 44 percent from 2000, when there were only 50,281 centenarians. "
300,000 out of 8.5 million (the total amount of births from 1910 to 1920 ). Still rare, but a better comparison since it's not really fair to compare the number of hundred year olds to the entire population.
I wouldn't want to live in a world where the centennials outnumber the young by very much anyway.
How many 100 year olds are there?

300,000 out of 7.5 billion? I'd say they're still pretty rare.
