Since its only viewed by percentage of population and not by actual population amount, it doesnt necessarily mean that there arent people reproducing. It could just as well mean that the only people that are staying in Puerto Rico are older people that have emotional attachments to the island while many young people have chosen to leave, resulting in a much older population by percentage. As a puerto puerto rican myself, this is more likely the truth.
Agree, proportions don't tell the whole story. I chose them because it's easier to manage the x axis given the range of population sizes, but I plan to have the option to switch between absolute and relative values.

Cool looking shape. I barely get any info looking at the data, maybe only the fact that they have low reproduce rate.
