How long does a hobbit usually live?

100 years According to the LOTR Wiki the average lifespan of a male hobbit is 100 years, with the oldest hobbit living to about 133 (Unless you count Gollum, but that math is too hard so we'll just say 133). The average life expectancy for a male human is only about 70 years.

Is Frodo older than Sam?

How old are hobbits in human years?

Ok so I did some math today and figured that since a Hobbit is an adult at 33, if we equate this to the human adult age of 18, one human year of aging is equivalent to about 1.83 hobbit years. So at the time of LOTR, Frodo as a hobbit would be 51, but as a human would be 27.9 years old.

Is Gandalf a human?

How old are the Hobbits when they come of age?

• For coming of age, we seem to have ended up at 18-21 years old (varying a bit on culture and location, true). Hobbits hold their similar milestone at 30 to 33. If my math is right, that would be about half again as much (or a two to three ratio).

Can a hobbit live as long as a human?

• However, hobbits actually seem not to live quite as long (proportionally) as humans. if we assume a maximum at about a hundred, Bullroarer Gerontious Took's 130 (as an upper limit) gives about a third more life for hobbits, not a half again as much.
