Research the US population in 1950 on the Internet. Note the total population of the United States in 1950, and analyze the shape of the population pyramid. Describe the features of the pyramid in two to three sentences.

The US population in 1950 was 152.3 million (it is currently estimated at around 328 million).

The population pyramid of the US in 1950 looked almost as a perfect pyramid. The median age was lower than 30 years old, meaning that the population was relatively young.

As a result, the lowest-age brackets in the pyramid are the most populous, and the oldest-age brackets of the pyramid are the least populous.

I have uploaded a small image of the 1950 US population pyramid.
