The COPPA standard prohibits collecting personal information from individuals under age 13.
I would suggest, as a matter of prudence, that people under age 13 be excluded from the survey, even though the Foundation is probably a COPPA exempt entity.

I disagree with <21 - I believe there will be a lot of wikimedians under 21 - it would be like having a 20-35 range - far too wide. Since this is an optional census and nothing will be identifiable and, there will be no further contact with the users.

I assume that those will not be the questions actually asked but
The age question is problematical. The lowest age selection should be <21. Not exactly sure how COPPA applies to the foundation. Non profit but no need to take any risks.
