Part 2

After downloading the csv file by age group, I cleaned the data on excel to remain the relevant fields and named it as “Population by age and subzone”, which I imported into QGIS. I then joined subzone and the aforementioned csv file together and formed the relevant choropleth maps.

Choropleth Map for Population Above 65 2018

Choropleth Map for Population Above 65 in 2010

Based on the choropleth maps, we see that there are a lot more subzones with aging population in 2018 as compared to 2010. The highest number of ageing population in a subzone has also increased.
