A population profile shows an easy to read graphical representation of a given geographic location's population. Generally it is divided by gender into male and female, and there are age brackets that divide up the profile into ranges of data. If there are more people present in that age group, the bar of the graph becomes longer. Comparing these graphs with others from other geographic locations reveals important trends and aids in social and civic work. This particular population profile from Finland was created based on data from 2010 and shows that while many live to the age of 60, there are not many who live to 65. Additionally it appears men and women are almost equal in population and that there are more old than young.
