Reasonable population breakdown in a Dwarven/Gnomish stronghold

by Kyle Knight

I'm trying to do a proper breakdown of level & age in a Dwarven/Gnomish stronghold. Yes, both races share the stronghold. What I have so far:

Dwarves: 264
Children: 156
Adult: 108
Gnomes: 137
Children: 81
Adult: 56
-------------
Breakdown by Age category:
Young: newborn - 20 (Dwarf: 100)(Gnome: 50)
Young Adult: 21 - 49 (Dwarf: 56)(Gnome: 31)
Adult (Mature): 50 - 99 (Dwarf: 60)(Gnome: 32)
Old (Seniority): 100 - 149 (Dwarf: 40)(Gnome: 20)
Venerable: 150+ (Dwarf: Gaz. 6 pg. 19: 275 yrs max)(Dwarf: 8)(Gnome: 4)
--------------
Level breakdown: w/ ages
0th Level: Children (Dwarf: 100 ages newborn to 20 years old)(Gnome: 50 ages newborn to 20)
1st Level: Common guard rank (Dwarf: 30 ages 21-49)(Gnome: 20 ages 21-49)
2nd Level: Common guard rank (Dwarf: 26 ages 21-49)(Gnome: 11 ages 21-49)
3rd Level: Common guard rank (Dwarf: 20 ages 50-99)(Gnome: 10 ages 50-99)
4th Level: Common guard rank (Dwarf: 15 ages 50-99)(Gnome: 5 ages 50-99)
5th Level: Corporal rank (Dwarf: 10 ages 50-99)(Gnome: 5 ages 50-99)
6th Level: Corporal rank (Dwarf: 10 ages 50-99)(Gnome: 5 ages 50-99)
7th Level: Corporal/Sergeant rank (Dwarf: 5 ages 50-99)(Gnome: 5 ages 50-99)
8th Level: Sergeant rank (Dwarf: 10 ages 100-149)(Gnome: 10 ages 100-149)
9th Level: Sergeant/Lieutenant rank (Dwarf: 10 ages 100-149)(Gnome: 5 ages 100-149)
10th Level: Lieutenant rank (Dwarf: 10 ages 100-149)(Gnome: 5 ages 100-149)
11th Level: Gnome High Shaman 11/10 - 73 years old(1); Captain Rank Officals (Dwarf: 9 ages 100-149)(Gnome: 0)
12th Level: Captain rank (Dwarf: 4 ages 150+)(Gnome: 2 ages 150+)
13th Level: Captain rank (Dwarf: 4 ages 150+)(Gnome: 2 ages 150+)
14th Level: Dwarf-Cleric and Leader of the Dwarves - 148 years old(1); Gnome Queen - 73 years old(1)

What I'm trying to work out is, as an example, how many children are newborn to almost young adult and what ages that covers. I've never been good at these kinds of breakdowns. *Fixed Dwarf breakdown* **Edited Gnome information* If any of that looks wrong, please speak up. (Do not comment on the abundance of children as the ratio of 3 kids per 2 adults is very much INTENTIONAL.) As always: thanks for any and all feedback.
