We aren't really. I used them in college to pay my mom&pop landlord rent (2015ish), but that's it. Most people use venmo or other apps. I don't know any young person that writes checks unless it's to an old person or archaic business that can't figure out online payments

If you own property there’s a good chance your local tax assessor requires a check for property tax payments (unless you pay exorbitant fees for credit card processing). Many government organizations require check payments. I suspect the the higher check usage is more caused by income and not age - higher your income/assets the more likely you’re dealing with the government. Higher your income/assets the more likely you’re older.
