Population Pyramid — Free Pyramid Chart Template
This Population Pyramid template charts the age-sex distribution of a population, plotting back-to-back age bands so you can read the shape of a society at a glance. The sample data spans nine age groups from 0-9 up to 70-79, with cohort sizes that taper from a wide 20-25 in the younger bands down to 15 and 10 in the 60s and 70s, sketching a typical maturing population. It is a ready-made starting point for demographic visuals, so you can replace the numbers with your own census or survey figures instead of building the pyramid from scratch.
