Behind the feature
Milestones, not estimates.
This feature uses GennyPop's generation birth-year ranges and basic arithmetic: milestone year = birth year + age.
No demographic datasets, death-rate assumptions or live population modelling are needed to calculate these birthday years. Generation boundaries are conventions, and future labels may change.
A milestone means someone born in the specified year would reach that age, if alive. It is not a count of living people.
