I wish I was good enough at math to use these tables to figure out what percentage of the population is within a particular age range in any given year.

In particular, I'm curious to see what years the population of particular generations peaked.

Edit: Actually what I'm really looking to do is to correlate certain marketing demographics with generations. For example, "in what years did Generation X comprise the majority of living people in the 18-34 demographic?" (where Generation X is defined as people born 1961-1981).

There’s not enough data to answer those questions from these tables, the “number of lives” fields are just illustrative.

Why not just go to the Census Bureau for annual tables of populations by age?
