About Population Pyramids

Population pyramids are graphs that display the age and gender composition of a population. These graphs typically arrange male counts or percentages on the left and female counts or percentages on the right. Age groups are shown by stacking bars with the youngest age group on the bottom. Most populations have a positive natural growth rate which displays, roughly, as a pyramid, hence the common name of population pyramid.

The advantage of using counts in a time series of population pyramids for one population is that you see the size of the population change. The disadvantage of using counts is that you cannot easily compare pyramids from different populations. The population pyramids on these pages use percentages rather than counts to draw the horizontally stacked bars because this growth model compares population pyramids of Hall County, Mexico, and the United States.

Color is used to denote some common population blocks used in demographic studies. The population 65 years of age and older is assumed to be no longer economically productive and is shown in grey. Blue is used for dependent children of 14 years of age and younger. The population between 15 and 64 years of age is assumed to be economically productive and is shown in green. Females between 15 and 44 years of age are assumed to be of child bearing age and are shown in light green.

Population pyramids are used to show changing population structures. A population with a large natural growth rate will have a pronounced pyramid shape with a wide base. As a replacement or zero natural growth rate and a low death rate evolve, over 60 years or so, a silo shape is described. A population with a negative natural growth rate will have smaller bars at the base of the pyramid. The post World War II baby boom in the United States, and its echo, show as a bulge in the pyramid that moves up the pyramid over time. The characteristic male laborer bias of an immigrant labor population appears in the male bars being larger than the female bars.

MetaMedia, Inc. wrote a software program in Python to generate both the population pyramids and the html in which to present them. That software is made available under the GNU General Public License and can be found here.
