The answer is...unclear at best. And if you are relying on the AHS wiki page, don't. Anyone can edit that thing and it's largely filled with errors.
Murder House was actually set in 2011. He was born at the tail end of 2011 because it was Christmas time near the end of the season. We also know from Vivien's doctor's visits that he was growing fast, not to mention that he was born prematurely at only 6 months after his conception. But he didn't look like a premie. So I think we can clearly deduce that he was meant to mature faster than normal human boys.
Here is the other thing: In the final episode of AHS: Hotel, we see Billie Dean Howard in a flash-forward doing a special on the Cortez and the year is 2022. And there was no apocalypse yet. So my theory is that the present day is 2023, which would fit with the timeline of the whole series. It would also make Michael Langdon 13 years old; which is not only considered an unlucky number but an unholy one. Judas Iscariot the Betrayer was the 13th Apostle of Christ. That would be fitting for him since he betrayed the warlocks and the world when he set the end of days in motion.
