Men per 100 women, by age band
Every row is Kyoto's own count at city level. Female surplus is women minus men, in people, so a positive number means more women in that band. Green holds more women, red more men.

Kyoto population pyramid
The same counts as the table below, drawn. A ratio is one number per band; the pyramid shows how many people that band actually holds.
Kyoto: men left, women right, one bar per five-year band. Only the surplus tip is shaded: dark blue = more men, orange = more women. The muted base is the matched part.
