Ummm... I'm wondering - did you take into account wizard longevity? 
If wizards normal span of life is about 200 years (seeing that 
Dumbledore is 150 and considered old but is still very vigorous), 
then the ratio wizard adults:children will be much higher than in 
muggle populations (but I'm too lazy to try and do the precise 
calculations).
