(The high death rate prior to 1920 was caused by the Mexican Revolution. )

Population Types Postreproductive Reproductive Prereproductive A Expanding B Stable C Diminishing Age structure of populations: (A) an expanding population, with a very large proportion of young individuals; (B) a stable population, with relatively equal prereproductive and reproductive age groups; and ( C) a diminishing population, with a low percentage of young individuals.
