Data for the members of Congress came from [a 2023 FiscalNotes article by Lydia Stowe.](https://fiscalnote.com/blog/how-old-118th-congress) Data for the US population came from [the US Census‘ ACS retrieved from censusreporter.org.](https://censusreporter.org/data/table/?table=B01001&geo_ids=01000US&primary_geo_id=01000US#valueType|estimate) The population pyramid was assembled using Excel.
Using red and blue to represent female/male is pretty wacky considering those colors happen to be extremely associated with political affiliation. I would suggest changing it, otherwise the first impression is not the correct one
Why is the left of the X axis negative? I’m assuming it’s representing the total number of each bar, in opposite directions?
Using Red and Blue also seems like an odd choice to indicate male and female, as I assumed it indicated party at first.
I gotta be honest, a couple of these were hard to work out exactly what was being shown.
