The largest age group in Georgia was for the group of age 10-14 years with a population of 754,667 (7.10%), according to the 2021 American Community Survey.

At the same time, the smallest age group in Georgia was the 85+ years with a population of 146,106 (1.38%).

Georgia population by age cohort

To better understand the age distribution of Georgia's population, we divided it into the following 3 cohorts:

  • Children : Under the age of 18 years
  • Adults (working population): Between the age of 18 and 64 years
  • Seniors: 65 years and above
The pie chart shows Georgia's population divided into segments, with each segment representing an age cohort. The area of each segment is in the same proportion of a circle as the population of the cohort is of the total population.

Here's the population for each of the three cohorts.

Georgia population pyramid

Population pyramid for Georgia is charted below using the estimates from U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey 5-Year estimates. A wide base suggests population increase, narrow base indicates declining birth rates.

Key stats from our analysis of the Georgia's population pyramid:

  • Youth dependency ratio, which is the number of children aged 0-14 per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Georgia, is 29.5.
  • Old-age dependency ratio, which is the number of persons aged 65 or over per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Georgia, is 21.0.
  • Total dependency ratio for Georgia is 50.5.
  • Potential support ratio, which is the number of youth (working age population) per elderly, for Georgia is 4.8.
The graph shows Georgia's population across different age group and gender, with population on x-axis and population y-axis. The male population is plotted on the left in blue color whereas the female population is plotted on the right in pink color.

Key observations

  • Youth dependency ratio, which is the number of children aged 0-14 per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Georgia, is 29.5.
  • Old-age dependency ratio, which is the number of persons aged 65 or over per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Georgia, is 21.0.
