While both would be a six-year difference, no one will feel like a 10 year old will feel equally close to a 3 year old and 17 year old despite both would be still the same age difference.
Now 24 is mid 20s, early if mid 20s is not a thing, while 18 is still a teenager, and is an adult like a 24 year old, though unlike a 24 year old, an 18 year old would not be old enough to graduate college without skipping years.
30 is safely early 30s, and is an adult like a 24 year old, and both are old enough to be post-college graduates and are past their teens. Technically, people can be married and have children at both of these ages. Even 18 year olds can still get married, and we hear rare cases of even them having children. Heck, my 1998 born friend dated a 2001 born girl, who ended up having a daughter born in early 2020. She was still eighteen at the time of her birth, though he broke up with her before her daughter was born.

Well, 24 is still in the 18 to 24 age group. So I'm going to say it is closer to 18. 24 is still very young. 30 is not quite as young. So it makes more sense for 24 to be closer to 18 year olds.

24 going into 25 is bit closer to late 20s/early 30s.
23-24 is a bit separated from 19-22, which is more of a group imo, but not really belonging to either half. 18 I feel is really stand alone or belongs a bit more with 16-18 than 19-22.
I think each era age expectations are different.
In past it seemed there was more expectations between age 18 to 24, it even felt that being independent/having a set career, getting married closer to around this age and dressing older/conducting yourself like you are older was more of the norm. Especially when you look back at the 1950s and 1960s, but this even applies to the early 2000s to some extent as well.
Sometimes in modern era it seems like age 24 is still an an extended version of 15-18 until the early to mid 30s.

Sometimes in modern era it seems like age 24 is still an an extended version of 15-18 until the early to mid 30s. 24 might be a transitional age like maybe ages 4 and 14 were. I noticed a difference between ages 3-4 (toddler) vs ages 4-5 (early childhood, preschool) same with 13-14 (early teens, middle school) vs 14-15 (core teens, most hit puberty, high school). I think ages 23-24 is a transition from early to mid 20s, but still leans early 20s and closes the chapter on adolescence. I asked a friend who turned 24 this past February if they feel like they’re in the early or mid 20s. They said early 20s, but nearing mid 20s. I think the brain’s preferential cortex matures at ages 24-25, maybe later. I’ll agree that 23-24 feels a little separated from ages 19-22. I don’t know if you’d consider age 19 as more of an early 20s year than a late teens year. 19 felt a little different from 18. I see the early 20s as more like 20-21 to 23-24. You have a case about 23-24 not leaning towards either period. When I was a child, I thought people who are 20 years or older were full-grown, mature adults wearing formal clothing, out of school and have careers. Yeah all kids see older people as older than they are. Yes it is transitional year. I think it was a lot more common 50 or 60+ years for people to get married by 18-24, or to already have set careers, plus people dressed older in the past.

What is the 18-24 age group? Dont think thats even a thing. I could make up a 24-30 age group too. Anyways, it depends on what you use.

Would you say that 16 and 17 year olds lean towards late teens instead of mid teens and a 19 year old leans more towards early 20s than late teens? I'm not really around people in these age groups lol, from general observations, I would say technically 16 and 17 year old lean towards late teens, but I often see a lot of 16 and 17 nowadays who don't look older than 14 at most, its not be derogatory, and its not about intelligence, but mannerisms, presentation and physical looks. 19 leaning towards 20 technically leans early 20s, sometimes they can act a bit younger, but to a lesser extent you still do see people stuck in mid teens age range till the late 20s/early 30s.

Depends on the person. That is a very volatile age. Some 24 year olds are college graduates with jobs, careers, and even families while others are still living an extended adolescence. I personally think early adulthood is divided into two halves, 18-25, and then 26-34.

18 is a really tough time that doesn't resemble other years much at all. Some are very excited or have too much fun, others panic at not easily finding their footing. The main difference between that and 24 is that by 24, there is a sense of familiarity. You either have a direction or you are getting accustomed to feeling lost. It's not freaky and scary anymore, it's just life. For most, 30 seems to start involving bigger steps, but I imagine the consistency in sense of self to resemble 24 better than 18 does.

Depends on the individual. However I do think up until about age 22/23, age differences do make a difference. After that it's all arbitrary imo. Until you get to retirement age maybe.
