Population profiles take the population of a certain region and break it up into age groups.  Once these values are obtained, then we can determine the percentage of the population in each group and plot them like in the chart above.  Stacking one group on top of the other in numerical order allows us to compare different age groups and determine different trends in the population as well.

The above population profile of Mobile, AL shows that, relatively, there is a large amount of 0-44 year olds in Mobile.  In fact, the percentages comparing different age brackets as well as a male/female breakdown shows very similar percentages up until the age of 44.  After this point, the population percents dwindles down to the 85+ age bracket occupying only 3-4 percent of the total population.  Another interesting fact is that in the extreme age categories the percentage of females increases relative to the percentage of males.
