Syrian Population Numbers

Found these two charts today in the archives of Syria Comment, the excellent blog run by Dr. Joshua Landis.  The first is the Syrian population graphed according to age and gender.  The second is a breakdown of populations figures in Syrian cities based on a 2008  national census.  Keep in mind that the million plus refugees living in Syria are probably not counted in these figures:
