How many children and elderly people live in America?

Question

i know our population is 300 million in america- but i have no idea about the parts of the population that are children and elderly people???

Answer 1

It depends on your definition of elderly and children.

Broadly speaking, there are roughly 41 million citizens whose ages range from under a year  to 19 years old and 16 million citizens whose ages range from 60-80 years old.

Here is a link to a number of population pyramids displaying the age distribution of America from 1950 until 2050 (keep in mind that upwards of the year 2005 they are all predictions and subject to change).
