United States of America Population Pyramid 1994
United States of America in 1994
In 1994, the United States of America had a total population of 265,474,810 people. Over the previous ten years the population grew by 10.9%, up from 239,353,968 in 1984.
Half of the population was younger than 33.8 years; 21.9% were children under 15 and 12.4% were 65 or older. The near-vertical sides of the pyramid indicate a stationary age structure, with births roughly balancing the passage of cohorts into older age.
The bulge of cohorts born between 1946 and 1964 — the post-war baby boom — is the defining feature of the United States pyramid, visible as it moves up the age scale over the decades.
