Georgia Population Pyramid 1978
Georgia in 1978
In 1978, Georgia had a total population of 5,091,796 people. A decade earlier, in 1968, the population was 4,663,584; it has grown by 9.2% since.
Half of the population was younger than 28.8 years; 26.2% were children under 15 and 8.8% were 65 or older. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
