September 2025 .. use the Chartgraphics population pyramid to view Census 2020 5-year age cohort data for any county.

The Chartgraphics Population Pyramid (PP) feature can display the population age/gender structure pyramid and table for any geographic area using a standardized age-race/origin-gender database. Previously, the PP installer included the database for the U.S., all states and all counties for each 2010 and 2020 interated by gender and several race/origin groups.

September 2025 Updates
New Age-Gender Files have been added:
• 119th Congressional Districts
- includes 2024 data only for each/all 119 Congressional Districts
- with CG running, use File>Open and open uscd2024mf.dbf
- the geolistbox populates with a list of all Congressional Districts.
- select the 2024 year to view the data.
- dbl-click a CD in left panel to view that CDs 2024 data.

Census 2020 Data. The Census 2020 data included in this PP release were released by Census in June as a part of the Census model-based estimates for 7/1/20 and 7/1/21 and referred to as the 2020 estimates base. While these might not agree exactly with the as-yet unreleased 5-year age cohort Census 2020 data, we expect that mostly they wiil. As a result, this data release has further data use value than just population pyramids.

The remainder of this section has not yet been further updated regarding the 2022.07.18 release.

Importance of the Population Age-Race/Origin-Gender Structure
The age and gender structure of a population is one of its most important and formative features, because nearly all demographic characteristics and processes vary by age and gender. Age and gender composition is also revealing in that it reflects those demographic characteristics and processes. Population pyramid chart graphics can help us visualize and more easily understand age-gender structure -- and how it is changing over time. Use software and data resources that we have developed, and illustrated here, to analyze populations for geographic areas of interest to you. Details are described below.

Visualizing Population Distribution by Gender and Age
The graphics below illustrate how population pyramids, and related tables, can be used to explore characteristics of the Asian Indian population by gender and age. One graphic shows Census 2000 data, the second graphic shows Census 2010 data.

Gaining Insights
The population pyramid helps us understand the age and gender structure of a population in a specific area, like a county or state. The shape of the pyramid can show the potential for future growth and provide hints about past trends. A top-heavy pyramid suggests negative population growth that might be due to many factors, including high death rates, low birthrates and increased emigration. A bottom-heavy pyramid suggests high birthrates, falling or stable death rates and potential for rapid population growth.

The population pyramid shows a male population bar chart (left side of pyramid, blue) symmetrically with a female population bar chart (right side of pyramid, light red). Each bar shows the population by 5-year age group, 0-4 years to 80-84 years and 85 years and over.

Using Census 2010 Data to Develop Population Pyramids
We can use the Census 2010 Summary File 2 Demographic Profile 1 (http://www.proximityone.com/cen2010_sf2.htm) interactive ranking table to determine that Santa Clara County, CA has the largest Asian Indian alone population based on Census 2010. The geographic summary level is set to county, the Race Group is set to Asian Indian alone, and the header column D001 (total population) is clicked to determine that Santa Clara County has an Asian Indian alone population of 117,596. In these examples, the bar maximum population value has been set to 10,000 (can be set to any value) making it easier to compare the distributions between 2000 and 2010.
