Anoka County Multi- Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan Age Distribution: When drawn as a "population pyramid," age distribution can hint at patterns of growth. A top -heavy pyramid suggests negative population growth that might be due to a number of factors, including high death rates, low birth rates, and increased emigration from the area. A bottom heavy pyramid, suggests high birthrates, falling or stable death rates, and the potential for rapid population growth. Most areas fall somewhere between these two extremes and have a population pyramid that resembles a square, indicating slow and sustained growth with the birth rate exceeding the death rate, though not by a great margin.
