About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the data for the Lebanon, OR population pyramid, which represents the Lebanon 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 Lebanon, OR, is 26.0.
• Old-age dependency ratio, which is the number of persons aged 65 or over per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Lebanon, OR, is 28.5.
• Total dependency ratio for Lebanon, OR is 54.5.
• Potential support ratio, which is the number of youth (working age population) per elderly, for Lebanon, OR is 3.5.

This statistic shows the median age of the population in Lebanon from 1950 to 2100. The median age is the age that divides a population into two numerically equal groups; that is, half the people are younger than this age and half are older. It is a single index that summarizes the age distribution of a population. In 2020, the median age of the Lebanon population was 27.8 years.

This statistic shows the age structure in Lebanon from 2013 to 2023. In 2023, about 27.27 percent of Lebanon's total population were aged 0 to 14 years.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Lebanon population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Lebanon across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2023, the population of Lebanon was 15,429, a 1.19% increase year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Lebanon population was 15,248, an increase of 0.91% compared to a population of 15,110 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Lebanon increased by 3,156. In this period, the peak population was 15,429 in the year 2023. The numbers suggest that the population has not reached its peak yet and is showing a trend of further growth. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).
