(Please use a modern browser to see the interactive version of this visualization)

The Aging Index is a demographic measure that compares the number of children under the age of 15 to the number of residents aged 65 and older in a given population. It is calculated by dividing the population of children by the population of seniors. An Aging Index score of 1 signifies that the population of children and seniors is balanced, with an equal number of children and seniors.
