About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the data for the Canadian, OK population pyramid, which represents the Canadian 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 Canadian, OK, is 50.4.
• Old-age dependency ratio, which is the number of persons aged 65 or over per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Canadian, OK, is 23.7.
• Total dependency ratio for Canadian, OK is 74.1.
• Potential support ratio, which is the number of youth (working age population) per elderly, for Canadian, OK is 4.2.

Good to know

Margin of Error

Data in the dataset are based on the estimates and are subject to sampling variability and thus a margin of error. Neilsberg Research recommends using caution when presening these estimates in your research.

Annual Demographic Statistics contains the following data: population estimates by age and sex for Canada, the provinces, territories, census divisions and census metropolitan areas; estimates by age, sex and marital status for the provinces and territories; and estimates of the number of census families for Canada, the provinces and territories, by type of family (husband-wife, lone-parent), size of family, age of children and age and sex of parents. It also includes statistics for the demographic components that were used to produce the population estimates (births, deaths, marriages, divorces, immigration, total emigration, internal migrations and non permanent residents) by age and sex. In addition, there are highlights of current demographic trends and a description of the methodology; population data from 1971 for provinces and territories, and from 1986 for census divisions and census metropolitan areas; and animated age pyramids, which illustrate the aging of the population.

This map represents the proportion of the population under 15 years of age. There are a number of general patterns apparent on this map. The north has a higher proportion of youth than the south. The Aboriginal population in the north still exhibits what is termed a "young" population (consult the population pyramids for the Northwest Territories, Yukon and Nunavut). There are several regions in southern Canada that have a low proportion of youth. These tend to be in the agricultural regions of the country. Once the scale has been increased, notice the detailed pattern. The small centres in the Prairies have lower proportions of youth than the surrounding rural area.
