The median age was 40.5 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 24.1 children under 15 and 22.1 people aged 65 or over. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
