Isle of Man, every age in every year

Each column is a year and each row an age; the denser the ink in a cell, the more people. Everyone born in the same year climbs one 45° diagonal, so famines, baby booms and migration show up as streaks. Select a cell to follow its generation.

Who does the work in Isle of Man

Isle of Man had the most working-age people it is ever expected to have in 2011: 55,215 people aged 15–64, against 52,826 in 2023.

How to read this: one orange square for each of 100 people aged 15–64 in 2023. Beneath them, teal for the children living alongside those 100 and violet for the people aged 65 or older.

At no point between 1950 and 2100 do fewer than 50 dependants live alongside every 100 people aged 15–64 here.

How to read this: the strip runs 1950 to 2100. Coloured years are the ones with under 50 dependants for every 100 people aged 15–64; grey years are the rest, and a hatched year has not happened yet.

Who arrives in Isle of Man, and who leaves

In 2020–2025 Isle of Man gains 190 people a year: everyone who arrives, minus everyone who leaves. The age at which that happens most is 45–49, at 52 a year more arriving than leaving.

one square = 5 people a year

How to read this: each column is one age, youngest on the left. Above the line, in blue, are the ages gaining people; below it, in orange, the ages losing them. This is the UN's projection for 2020–2025 — the record of migration by age does not go back beyond 2020.

Its best and worst years between 1950 and 2023: a gain of 1,440 (1970), and a loss of 730 (1960).

In 2024, 43,693 people living in Isle of Man had been born in another country, 52 of every 100 people there, against 51 in 1990.
