“This is a mesmerizing little animation created by Bill McBride of Calculated Risk. It shows the distribution of the U.S. population by age over time, starting at 1900 and ending with Census Bureau forecasts between now and 2060.

(You can also see the bulge of Baby Boomers ripple through the charts in the latter half of the 20th century.)”
