1965 Population

The birth rate was high in 1965.

Very few people lived past the age of 80.

There was a big drop in men and women aged 45-49.

There was a large bump up in the 25-29 age-group, born in the late 1930s.

The percentage of men to women is relatively equal across the younger age-groups.

2015 Population

The birth rate is low and seems to be decreasing

Noticeable percentages of people are living into their 80s and even some into their 90s.

The 45-54 age-group is the largest in the country.

The 25-29 age-group is just about average, neither larger nor smaller than other groups.

The percentage of men to women is relatively equal across all age-groups.
