Level of statistical classification: help please!

A little help please:

What type of data classification would it be if you were looking at a particular cohort of people in the total population, such as the over 65's?

Is it ordinal, interval, ratio etc??

Thanks a lot.

I'm mapping the percentage of the total population over 65.

I think it's ordinal. Can somebody confirm this for me?
