Northern America Population Pyramid 1982
Northern America in 1982
The population of Northern America in 1982 was 259,835,184. A decade earlier, in 1972, the population was 235,179,325; it has grown by 10.5% since.
Half of the population was younger than 30.6 years; 22.0% were children under 15 and 11.2% were 65 or older. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
