About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the data for the Copenhagen, NY population pyramid, which represents the Copenhagen 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 Copenhagen, NY, is 35.5.
• Old-age dependency ratio, which is the number of persons aged 65 or over per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Copenhagen, NY, is 13.0.
• Total dependency ratio for Copenhagen, NY is 48.5.
• Potential support ratio, which is the number of youth (working age population) per elderly, for Copenhagen, NY is 7.7.

This graph shows Denmark's total population from the year 1769 until 2020. Generally speaking, Denmark's population has been growing at a rather steady rate for the past 250 years. The numbers begin in 1769 where Denmark's population was approximately 798 thousand; it then grows at a consistent rate for the next 210 years, before the population decreases slightly in the 1980s. This dip in population is attributed to a decrease in the fertility rate across Europe during this time, resulting from improvements and increased access to contraception. The population then begins growing again in the late 1980s, due to a positive net migration rate and ageing population; today, the population is just under 5.8 million people.
