Yes, but it's because we're talking about a range, so it's a plural. '9-16-year-old' wouldn't make sense as we're obviously referring to more than one person'.
a 16 year old (individual)
a group of 16 year olds (16 year-old individuals)
a 16 year old (individual)
a group of 16 year olds (16 year-old individuals)
