AGE DISTRIBUTION
Drawn as a "population pyramid," an area's age-sex structure
hints at its patterns of growth. A top heavy pyramid, like the one for
Grant County, North Dakota , suggests
negative population growth that might be due to any number of factors,
including high death rates, low birth rates, and increased emigration
from the area. A bottom heavy pyramid, like the one drawn for Orange
County, Florida , suggests high birthrates, falling or stable death
rates, and the potential for rapid population growth. Most areas, however,
fall somewhere between these two extremes and have a population pyramid
that resembles a square, indicating slow and sustained growth with the
birth rate exceeding the death rate, though not by a great margin.
