Article is from 2017 and mostly has statistics from 2015, things have probably changed.
In 2015, [Americans] each made 38 check transactions, on average
I wonder what would be the median number of checks. There is going to be an older generation that is using checks for everything, and there is a younger generation that is forced to use checks to pay that older generation (eg: rent). But I can't see millennials and younger using checks for much else.
I still write checks and members of my family do more so. 38 sounds about right. For me about 30 maybe 2 credit cards income tax (no state just federal) and maybe a few miscellaneous.
Addition:
My mother worked at the Fedral reserve clearing check for 40+ years. A podcast episode I enjoyed from Planet Money on the subject.
