Northern America Population Pyramid 1972
Northern America in 1972
The population of Northern America in 1972 was 235,179,325. A decade earlier, in 1962, the population was 205,421,754; it has grown by 14.5% since.
Half of the population was younger than 27.9 years; 27.5% were children under 15 and 9.7% 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.
