Questions about the population pyramid

When should I use a population pyramid?

Use it for population by age and sex, or any two-sided breakdown by band.

What's the most common mistake with a population pyramid?

Mixing counts and percentages. Use one or the other for both sides, so the halves compare fairly.

Can I animate it, download it or put it in PowerPoint?

Yes. Press Play to animate it, record an MP4 or GIF, or download a PNG, SVG or PowerPoint file. In PowerPoint it's added as a high-resolution image. It's free, with no sign-up.
