The largest age group in Ohio was for the group of age 55 to 59 years with a population of 799,037 (6.79%), according to the 2018-2022 American Community Survey.

At the same time, the smallest age group in Ohio was the 80 to 84 years with a population of 235,341 (2%).

Ohio population by age cohort

To better understand the age distribution of Ohio'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

FIGURE 2

Ohio population by age cohort

The largest age group was 18 to 64 years with a population of 7.11 million (60.41% of the total population).

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

Age Group Population % of Total Population
Under 18 years 2,593,322 22.02%
18 to 64 years 7,112,799 60.41%
65 years and over 2,068,562 17.57%

Key stats for each age cohort as per our analysis of U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey:

  • Ohio 's population under 18 was 22.02%, compared to the 22.11% nationwide.
  • Ohio's working population (between 18 and 64) was 60.41%, compared to 61.36% nationwide.
  • Ohio's elderly or the senior population (over 65 age) was 17.57% as compared to 16.53% nationwide.

Ohio population pyramid

Population pyramid for Ohio 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 Ohio's population pyramid:

  • Youth dependency ratio, which is the number of children aged 0-14 per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Ohio, is 28.2.
  • Old-age dependency ratio, which is the number of persons aged 65 or over per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Ohio, is 27.3.
  • Total dependency ratio for Ohio is 55.5.
  • Potential support ratio, which is the number of youth (working age population) per elderly, for Ohio is 3.7.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the data for the Ohio population pyramid, which represents the Ohio population distribution across age and gender, using estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2018-2022 5-Year Estimates. It lists the male and female population for each age group, along with the total population for those age groups. Higher numbers at the bottom of the table suggest population growth, whereas higher numbers at the top indicate declining birth rates. Furthermore, the dataset can be utilized to understand the youth dependency ratio, old-age dependency ratio, total dependency ratio, and potential support ratio.

Key observations

  • Youth dependency ratio, which is the number of children aged 0-14 per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Ohio, is 28.2.
  • Old-age dependency ratio, which is the number of persons aged 65 or over per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Ohio, is 27.3.
