I thought it might be interesting to have the ages of all the HMs on entry to the BB house listed out. Not sure why I thought that. Anyway, most of these are off Wikipedia, so don't bet your house on them (or anything else). I've probably made mistakes too. Yay.
They are not ordered within the year. So, for example, I don't know whether Belinda or Ahmed was an older 44. If you want more info, RealDipStick listed most HMs' birthdays (though only some of the BB13 ones and no BB14 ones; a few of the latter are here).
I think Jennie is the youngest HM to enter, having turned 18 in February of her year, whereas both sets of twins turned 19 in the house.
Cameron, Luke and Aaron were the oldest winners whilst Brian Belo and Sophie were the youngest.
One last thing: if you're thinking of writing,
"But haven't there been more than 34 housemates over the years?"

I must be very dense because I haven't a clue what you mean by 34 housemates, so I wish not to share this.
Wikipedia has a good table of HM data.
Since it sounds like you used other sources as well, it would be interesting to compare; and since I already have most of the Wikipedia table in machine-readable, 'comma-separated value' form -- and posted it as the 2nd post in this thread: [thread=1810044]Models, models everywhere, or: More fun with housemate data[/thread] -- I can do the comparison pretty easily. (So I will.)
I think what I left out was the HMs' home towns; I also need to add the bb14 ones.
My experience is that using the code tags always confuses someone. Sometimes this is understandable, but even when it's flagged up someone usually fails to get it.
Ah, I wasn't aware of the general list.
The individual series' Wikipedia pages miss out Jonathan Leonard and Isaac Stout, and the BB10 page is useless. Those were the only reasons I went off Wiki.
Spent some time checking whether BB10 ages were pre-birthday or not because, you know, it's important whether Angel was 35 or 36 when she went in.
Well, it can be.
35 is kinda of a handy cut-off point if someone's arguing about "older housemates", for example.
Was Rachel Rice really 24 when she went in? I thought she was only just out of school.
Yes, Rachel was 24 - which it turns out is the median average age for a BB housemate.
The mean is higher at 26.4 (that's counting sets of twins as one housemate, not that it makes a huge difference).
