About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the data for the Norway, MI population pyramid, which represents the Norway 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 Norway, MI, is 20.0.
• Old-age dependency ratio, which is the number of persons aged 65 or over per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Norway, MI, is 32.2.
• Total dependency ratio for Norway, MI is 52.2.
• Potential support ratio, which is the number of youth (working age population) per elderly, for Norway, MI is 3.1.
