The static population pyramid image with ethnicities marked is blatantly inaccurate
Population pyramid by race/ethnicity in 2020
It doesn't reflect the real composition. Whites are 57.8% of the total, whereas this image shows about 80%. What is this, the 50s? According to the image, the least white age bracket is still 71% white (age 0), which is mathematically impossible. Can anyone explain the discrepancy? MrThe1And0nly (talk) 09:58, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
@MrThe1And0nly For quick clarity are you on about this one? I agree that it does look odd on the lack of Hispanic's on the population pyramid compared to the Black population, which atleast seems larger on there when it shouldn't. I am neither sure on what the year the population pyramid attains to either, maybe it is 2010? However the file was made in 2021. Feel free to remove and I will create one for this either today or tommorow. Tweedle (talk) 12:03, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
Ah I believe I have found the discrepency, using the data table 1/1/2020 to 6/1/2020 from Monthly Postcensal Resident Population plus Armed Forces Overseas from the source file on the original image, using the first month;
If you look at the column for Non-Hispanic White newborns (0) for males for example it is below 1 million at 957,909 however looking at White alone Male 0 year olds it is 1,389,975 which would match up better to what is shown so I believe the original creator must have used the wrong race columns. Ofcourse this is assuming that it is based off of the 2020 file, however I do not believe there would be an extra 400,000 odd babies for Non-Hispanic Whites in any of the years previous. Looking at the 2010 file, 0 year old non-Hispanic White males are 1,021,535
Nice, you fixed it. My bad, I thought I had linked the image I was talking about but seem to have forgotten. And you switched the inaccurate image for the correct one in other topics as well. Thanks. MrThe1And0nly (talk) 17:53, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
