The total fertility rate is the average number of children that a woman of childbearing age (generally considered 15 to 44 years) is expected to have throughout her reproductive years. Unlike birth rates, which are based on the actual number of live births in a given population, fertility rates are estimates (similar to life expectancy) that apply to a hypothetical woman, as they assume that current patterns in age-specific fertility will remain constant throughout her reproductive years.Find more statistics on other topics about Latin America & the Caribbean with key insights such as death rate, total life expectancy at birth, and number of tuberculosis infections .

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of Puerto Rico by gender across 18 age groups. It lists the male and female population in each age group along with the gender ratio for Puerto Rico. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Puerto Rico by gender and age. For example, using this dataset, we can identify the largest age group for both Men and Women in Puerto Rico. Additionally, it can be used to see how the gender ratio changes from birth to senior most age group and male to female ratio across each age group for Puerto Rico.

Please note that American Community Survey asks a question about the respondents current sex, but not about gender, sexual orientation, or sex at birth. The question is intended to capture data for biological sex, not gender. Respondents are supposed to respond with the answer as either of Male or Female. Our research and this dataset mirrors the data reported as Male and Female for gender distribution analysis.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the data for the Puerto Rico population pyramid, which represents the Puerto Rico population distribution across age and gender, using estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates. It lists the male and female population for each age group, along with the total population for those age groups. Higher numbers at the bottom of the table suggest population growth, whereas higher numbers at the top indicate declining birth rates. Furthermore, the dataset can be utilized to understand the youth dependency ratio, old-age dependency ratio, total dependency ratio, and potential support ratio.

Key observations

• Youth dependency ratio, which is the number of children aged 0-14 per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Puerto Rico, is 20.6.
• Old-age dependency ratio, which is the number of persons aged 65 or over per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Puerto Rico, is 35.5.
• Total dependency ratio for Puerto Rico is 56.1.
• Potential support ratio, which is the number of youth (working age population) per elderly, for Puerto Rico is 2.8.

Over the last two observations, the life expectancy has significantly increased in all gender groups Comparing the two different gender groups for the year 2023, the 'life expectancy of women at birth' leads the ranking with 79.06 years. Contrastingly, 'life expectancy of men at birth' is ranked last, with 69.53 years. Their difference, compared to life expectancy of women at birth, lies at 9.53 years. Life expectancy at birth refers to the number of years the average newborn is expected to live, providing that mortality patterns at the time of birth do not change thereafter.Find further similar statistics for other countries or regions like Austria and Puerto Rico.
