According to the United Nations’ World Population Prospects 2024 report, the global population in 2050 is expected to reach around 9.66 billion people, a growth of nearly 1.5 billion from the current population. Projections anticipate that this growth will continue until it reaches 10.3 billion people in 2084, at which time the population will begin to decline gradually. India surpassed China as the most populated country in the world in 2023. China’s annual growth rate is currently -0.23%, while India’s growth rate is 0.89%. Given current trends in growth rates, UN projections predict that China’s population will slide under 1 billion by 2070, while India’s will expand to almost 1.7 billion. The United States is currently the third most populated country in the world, but is expected to drop to fourth most populated sometime before 2060. The African country of Nigeria, whose growth rate is 2.08% (compared to 0.54% in the US) will become the third most populated country in the world. While UN predictions vary from those of the US Census Bureau, Nigeria takes the lead in both projections. Nigeria’s population is expected to reach 400 million by 2060, while the US will have approximately 389 million people. Vatican City / Holy See is expected to continue as the country with the smallest population in the world for the next several decades. The famous Catholic city-state has a population of 501 people. Top 10 Countries Whose Populations Will Grow the Most by 2050: The Earth’s population is expected to continue growing for the next 60 years. Improvements in health care technology, shared by developed countries with still developing and least-developed countries, have increased life expectancy and reduced infant mortality rates—which, in turn, have helped drive a boom in population growth. In fact, ten countries are expected to gain more in population by 2050 than the rest of the world combined. COUNTRY 2026 POP. 2050 POP.

By the end of this century, even the world’s fastest-growing countries are expected to have reached peak population size and begun to display declining (or negative) growth rates. Many factors contribute to population decline and related metrics such as fertility rates. These include increased access to birth control and family planning, an increase in overall quality of life and the human development index, and various other cultural, political, social, and economic factors These include some factors that may not initially seem related to birth rate, such as the population’s general level of education and the government’s per-capita health expenditure. Whether population growth is good or bad depends heavily upon several factors, most notably the rate of growth, the country in which it is taking place, and that country’s level of development. Countries that have mature economies and well-developed infrastructure are more likely to be able to absorb an increase in population. Conversely, developing countries are more likely to lack adequate jobs, health care, or other infrastructure to support a larger population. Similarly, a gentle increase in population is typically considered healthy, but a high rate of growth can be undesirable. High growth can often overwhelm a country’s infrastructure, strain systems ranging from the job market to the food supply, and constrain available resources. When this happens, technological advances may offer opportunities to overcome production shortages and/or environmental damage. World Population History (5000 B.C. - 2020 A.D.) Throughout most of history, the world’s population has been much smaller than it is now. Before the invention of agriculture, for example, the human population was estimated to be around 15 million people at most. For comparison, the world population in 2017 (~7 billion) was roughly equal to a full 6% of the estimated 110 billion people who have ever lived. The introduction of agriculture and the gradual movement of humanity into settled communities enabled the global population to increase gradually to around 300 million by AD 0. While this is a substantial increase, it remains a tiny fraction of the current population. For example, the Roman Empire, which historians regard as one of the strongest empires the world has ever known, probably contained around 50 million people at its height—nearly 20 million less than the population of the UK today. The world population would not reach its first major milestone—one billion people—until the early 19th century. Then, as the industrial revolution took hold and living standards improved, the rate of population growth increased considerably. Over the next hundred years, the population of the world doubled, reaching two billion in the late 1920s. During the 20th century, however, population growth skyrocketed. Over the past 100 years, the planet’s population has more than tripled in size. This massive increase in human population is largely due to improvements in diet, sanitation, and medicine, especially compulsory vaccination against many diseases, which have both improved life expectancy and decreased infant mortality rates all over the world.

The United States as a whole is the third-most-populous country in the world, with an estimated population of 347,276,000 people as of January 2025. Within that total, however, the individual states showcase a vast range of populations, from about 40 million residents in California to fewer than a million in Wyoming. Most and Least Populous States The Most Populous The Least Populous STATE POPULATION ↓ ANNUAL CHANGE California 39,896,400 0.59% Texas 32,416,700 1.77% Florida 24,306,900 1.96% New York 20,127,000 0.65% Pennsylvania 13,200,800 0.46% Illinois 12,846,000 0.53% Ohio 12,001,800 0.5% Georgia 11,413,800 1.03% North Carolina 11,375,700 1.47% Michigan 10,254,700 0.56% By far the most populous state in the United States is California, which has nearly 40 million residents and comprises nearly 12% of the country’s total population. If California were a country, it would have the fourth or fifth largest economy in the world and the 38th-highest population, ahead of countries including Canada, Australia, Peru, and Greece. Texas has the second-largest population of any US state, with more than 30 million residents (9% of the US total) as of 2023. Moreover, Texas has a growth rate of 1.34% per year, while California’s growth rate is notably lower at 0.57%. The impact of such differing growth rates is obvious when viewed over time: Since 2010, the population of Texas has increased by more than 20%, while California has grown just under 12%. The third-most-populated state in the US is Florida, with a population of more than 22.3 million and a growth rate of 1.24% per year, and the state of New York ranks fourth. About half of the 20.40 million people who live in the state of New York reside in New York. It is notable that the three most populous states in the US are among the top ten states with the longest coastlines, and both California and Texas are among the largest states in the union by land area. States in New England, along the Northeast seaboard, tend to be quite small geographically but with higher populations. Rhode Island (pop. 1,110,822) is the smallest state by land area, but it has a higher population than many larger states, including Alaska (740,339), both North Dakota and South Dakota (811,044 and 908,414, respectively), and Wyoming (580,817). Population Distribution The population of the United States is distributed unevenly across the 50 states, Washington DC, and territories such as Puerto Rico. States on the country's border tend to be the most populous, whether they be located on the West Coast (California), the East Coast (New York, Florida, arguably Pennsylvania), or the southern border (Texas, Florida again). Conversely, interior states such as those in the Great Plains and Midwest tend to be less populous. However, exceptions do exist—for example, the Great Lakes state of Illinois has the sixth-largest population of any state despite its Midwestern location. Most states in the US are currently experiencing population growth. The greatest rate of growth belongs to Florida (2.0%), followed by Texas (1.8%) and Utah (1.72%). By comparison, the state with the lowest population growth is Vermont, whose population shrank by 0.03%. Page: Fastest Growing States

Not surprisingly, the largest countries in the world in terms of population are China and India, with both countries now having populations of well over a billion. The United States comes in third with just under 325 million residents. The BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China), generally regarded as the four major emerging economies expected to dominate in the 21st century, are all in the top ten most populous countries, indicating how important the sheer size of their populations are to their economic expansion. However, a number of countries considered by the International Monetary Fund to be developing countries (that is, having not achieved a high degree of industrialization relative to their populations, and where the population typically has a medium to low standard of living) also have sizeable populations, including Nigeria (over 190 million), Bangladesh (almost 165 million) and Mexico (around 129 million), demonstrating that the issues affecting developing nations span multiple continents. Developing Nations Nigeria 242,432,000 Bangladesh 177,818,000 Mexico 132,998,000 It is notable that a number of the largest economies in the world have smaller populations, particularly in Europe. The United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Italy are all among the top ten largest economies and all have populations of under 100 million. Their numbers range from 82 million (Germany) to just under 60 million (Italy). Large Economies with Small Populations Luxembourg 687,448 Cayman Islands 77,196 Monaco 38,087 Furthermore, several extremely small countries, such as Monaco, Luxembourg, and the Cayman Islands - all with fewer than a million residents - play a much larger role in the financial world than their population numbers would suggest. In contrast, Canada, which is also a major economic player and one of the largest countries in the world by landmass, has a relatively small population for its size, with around 36.5 million residents.

Shane Fulmer Founder/CEO Daniel Stout Senior Developer Eric Bratcher Research Team Lead Jasenka Djakovic Senior Researcher Nina Djurdjev Senior Researcher Joy Stutts Content Editor Our Story What started as a small site in 2013 has grown into something remarkable. From our first million pageviews that year, we've expanded to serve over 100 million readers annually - a testament to the value we create for our growing community. The Beginning World Population Review started in 2013 as a blog focused on demographic topics, but without the comprehensive population data that defines the site today. The early version was simple: blog posts discussing population trends and demographic issues, before we began incorporating actual datasets. Despite its basic beginnings, the site reached a million pageviews in that first year - revealing significant public interest in understanding population trends, even in blog format. This early response helped shape our eventual transition toward becoming a data-driven population resource. Growth Over Time The site's evolution was driven by a clear insight: readers wanted reliable, up-to-date population data they could easily access and understand. We began systematically incorporating datasets, building data pipelines, and developing visualization tools. This shift from blog posts to comprehensive data transformed World Population Review into a trusted reference, growing from one million to over 100 million annual pageviews. Along the way, we expanded beyond population statistics to cover economics, geography, and social trends - always anchored in solid data. Looking Ahead Our focus remains on expanding what makes World Population Review valuable: reliable, accessible data. We're developing new interactive visualizations to help users better understand demographic trends, incorporating additional datasets beyond population statistics, and continuously improving site usability. These enhancements will help our growing audience of researchers, students, and curious minds better understand the numbers that shape our world. Get In Touch With Us Have questions or suggestions?

It is perhaps unsurprising that the majority of the most populous cities in the world are in the two most populated countries in the world, China and India. Among these are Shanghai and Beijing in China, with populations of 31M and 23M million respectively, along with Delhi (35.5M), and Mumbai (22.5M) in India. However, Tokyo is the largest city in the world if the entire Tokyo metro area is included, with a total of 37M residents. Another Japanese city, Osaka, also has a very large population of 18.9M. Other non-Asian cities with high populations include: Cairo (23.5M) Sao Paulo (23.2M) Mexico City (23M) Of the European cities, Istanbul is the most populous, with 16.4M residents. This is followed by: Moscow (12.8M) Paris (11.4M) London (9.9M) These cities are of course also culturally significant and between them they welcome millions of tourists each year. There are quite a number of popular and culturally rich cities that have smaller populations, often making for higher living standards for their residents. Barcelona, Sydney, Berlin and Vancouver all have fewer than five million residents, but are very popular choices for city living. There are also some comparatively very small cities with big cultural, historical or political reputations, such as Aleppo (2.6M) Prague (1.3M) Cologne (1.2M) Jerusalem (1M)

According to the United Nations’ World Population Prospects 2024 report, the global population in 2050 is expected to reach around 9.66 billion people, a growth of nearly 1.5 billion from the current population. Projections anticipate that this growth will continue until it reaches 10.3 billion people in 2084, at which time the population will begin to decline gradually. India surpassed China as the most populated country in the world in 2023. China’s annual growth rate is currently -0.23%, while India’s growth rate is 0.89%. Given current trends in growth rates, UN projections predict that China’s population will slide under 1 billion by 2070, while India’s will expand to almost 1.7 billion. The United States is currently the third most populated country in the world, but is expected to drop to fourth most populated sometime before 2060. The African country of Nigeria, whose growth rate is 2.08% (compared to 0.54% in the US) will become the third most populated country in the world. While UN predictions vary from those of the US Census Bureau, Nigeria takes the lead in both projections. Nigeria’s population is expected to reach 400 million by 2060, while the US will have approximately 389 million people. Vatican City / Holy See is expected to continue as the country with the smallest population in the world for the next several decades. The famous Catholic city-state has a population of 501 people. Top 10 Countries Whose Populations Will Grow the Most by 2050: The Earth’s population is expected to continue growing for the next 60 years. Improvements in health care technology, shared by developed countries with still developing and least-developed countries, have increased life expectancy and reduced infant mortality rates—which, in turn, have helped drive a boom in population growth. In fact, ten countries are expected to gain more in population by 2050 than the rest of the world combined. COUNTRY 2026 POP. 2050 POP.

By the end of this century, even the world’s fastest-growing countries are expected to have reached peak population size and begun to display declining (or negative) growth rates. Many factors contribute to population decline and related metrics such as fertility rates. These include increased access to birth control and family planning, an increase in overall quality of life and the human development index, and various other cultural, political, social, and economic factors These include some factors that may not initially seem related to birth rate, such as the population’s general level of education and the government’s per-capita health expenditure. Whether population growth is good or bad depends heavily upon several factors, most notably the rate of growth, the country in which it is taking place, and that country’s level of development. Countries that have mature economies and well-developed infrastructure are more likely to be able to absorb an increase in population. Conversely, developing countries are more likely to lack adequate jobs, health care, or other infrastructure to support a larger population. Similarly, a gentle increase in population is typically considered healthy, but a high rate of growth can be undesirable. High growth can often overwhelm a country’s infrastructure, strain systems ranging from the job market to the food supply, and constrain available resources. When this happens, technological advances may offer opportunities to overcome production shortages and/or environmental damage. World Population History (5000 B.C. - 2020 A.D.) Throughout most of history, the world’s population has been much smaller than it is now. Before the invention of agriculture, for example, the human population was estimated to be around 15 million people at most. For comparison, the world population in 2017 (~7 billion) was roughly equal to a full 6% of the estimated 110 billion people who have ever lived. The introduction of agriculture and the gradual movement of humanity into settled communities enabled the global population to increase gradually to around 300 million by AD 0. While this is a substantial increase, it remains a tiny fraction of the current population. For example, the Roman Empire, which historians regard as one of the strongest empires the world has ever known, probably contained around 50 million people at its height—nearly 20 million less than the population of the UK today. The world population would not reach its first major milestone—one billion people—until the early 19th century. Then, as the industrial revolution took hold and living standards improved, the rate of population growth increased considerably. Over the next hundred years, the population of the world doubled, reaching two billion in the late 1920s. During the 20th century, however, population growth skyrocketed. Over the past 100 years, the planet’s population has more than tripled in size. This massive increase in human population is largely due to improvements in diet, sanitation, and medicine, especially compulsory vaccination against many diseases, which have both improved life expectancy and decreased infant mortality rates all over the world.",

"content": "The United States as a whole is the third-most-populous country in the world, with an estimated population of 347,276,000 people as of January 2025. Within that total, however, the individual states showcase a vast range of populations, from about 40 million residents in California to fewer than a million in Wyoming. Most and Least Populous States The Most Populous The Least Populous STATE POPULATION ↓ ANNUAL CHANGE California 39,896,400 0.59% Texas 32,416,700 1.77% Florida 24,306,900 1.96% New York 20,127,000 0.65% Pennsylvania 13,200,800 0.46% Illinois 12,846,000 0.53% Ohio 12,001,800 0.5% Georgia 11,413,800 1.03% North Carolina 11,375,700 1.47% Michigan 10,254,700 0.56% By far the most populous state in the United States is California, which has nearly 40 million residents and comprises nearly 12% of the country’s total population. If California were a country, it would have the fourth or fifth largest economy in the world and the 38th-highest population, ahead of countries including Canada, Australia, Peru, and Greece. Texas has the second-largest population of any US state, with more than 30 million residents (9% of the US total) as of 2023. Moreover, Texas has a growth rate of 1.34% per year, while California’s growth rate is notably lower at 0.57%. The impact of such differing growth rates is obvious when viewed over time: Since 2010, the population of Texas has increased by more than 20%, while California has grown just under 12%. The third-most-populated state in the US is Florida, with a population of more than 22.3 million and a growth rate of 1.24% per year, and the state of New York ranks fourth. About half of the 20.40 million people who live in the state of New York reside in New York. It is notable that the three most populous states in the US are among the top ten states with the longest coastlines, and both California and Texas are among the largest states in the union by land area. States in New England, along the Northeast seaboard, tend to be quite small geographically but with higher populations. Rhode Island (pop. 1,110,822) is the smallest state by land area, but it has a higher population than many larger states, including Alaska (740,339), both North Dakota and South Dakota (811,044 and 908,414, respectively), and Wyoming (580,817). Population Distribution The population of the United States is distributed unevenly across the 50 states, Washington DC, and territories such as Puerto Rico. States on the country's border tend to be the most populous, whether they be located on the West Coast (California), the East Coast (New York, Florida, arguably Pennsylvania), or the southern border (Texas, Florida again). Conversely, interior states such as those in the Great Plains and Midwest tend to be less populous. However, exceptions do exist—for example, the Great Lakes state of Illinois has the sixth-largest population of any state despite its Midwestern location. Most states in the US are currently experiencing population growth. The greatest rate of growth belongs to Florida (2.0%), followed by Texas (1.8%) and Utah (1.72%). By comparison, the state with the lowest population growth is Vermont, whose population shrank by 0.03%. Page: Fastest Growing States",

The United States comes in third with just under 325 million residents. The BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China), generally regarded as the four major emerging economies expected to dominate in the 21st century, are all in the top ten most populous countries, indicating how important the sheer size of their populations are to their economic expansion. However, a number of countries considered by the International Monetary Fund to be developing countries (that is, having not achieved a high degree of industrialization relative to their populations, and where the population typically has a medium to low standard of living) also have sizeable populations, including Nigeria (over 190 million), Bangladesh (almost 165 million) and Mexico (around 129 million), demonstrating that the issues affecting developing nations span multiple continents. Developing Nations Nigeria 242,432,000 Bangladesh 177,818,000 Mexico 132,998,000 It is notable that a number of the largest economies in the world have smaller populations, particularly in Europe. The United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Italy are all among the top ten largest economies and all have populations of under 100 million. Their numbers range from 82 million (Germany) to just under 60 million (Italy). Large Economies with Small Populations Luxembourg 687,448 Cayman Islands 77,196 Monaco 38,087 Furthermore, several extremely small countries, such as Monaco, Luxembourg, and the Cayman Islands - all with fewer than a million residents - play a much larger role in the financial world than their population numbers would suggest. In contrast, Canada, which is also a major economic player and one of the largest countries in the world by landmass, has a relatively small population for its size, with around 36.5 million residents.",

Shane Fulmer Founder/CEO Daniel Stout Senior Developer Eric Bratcher Research Team Lead Jasenka Djakovic Senior Researcher Nina Djurdjev Senior Researcher Joy Stutts Content Editor Our Story What started as a small site in 2013 has grown into something remarkable. From our first million pageviews that year, we've expanded to serve over 100 million readers annually - a testament to the value we create for our growing community. The Beginning World Population Review started in 2013 as a blog focused on demographic topics, but without the comprehensive population data that defines the site today. The early version was simple: blog posts discussing population trends and demographic issues, before we began incorporating actual datasets. Despite its basic beginnings, the site reached a million pageviews in that first year - revealing significant public interest in understanding population trends, even in blog format. This early response helped shape our eventual transition toward becoming a data-driven population resource. Growth Over Time The site's evolution was driven by a clear insight: readers wanted reliable, up-to-date population data they could easily access and understand. We began systematically incorporating datasets, building data pipelines, and developing visualization tools. This shift from blog posts to comprehensive data transformed World Population Review into a trusted reference, growing from one million to over 100 million annual pageviews. Along the way, we expanded beyond population statistics to cover economics, geography, and social trends - always anchored in solid data. Looking Ahead Our focus remains on expanding what makes World Population Review valuable: reliable, accessible data. We're developing new interactive visualizations to help users better understand demographic trends, incorporating additional datasets beyond population statistics, and continuously improving site usability. These enhancements will help our growing audience of researchers, students, and curious minds better understand the numbers that shape our world. Get In Touch With Us Have questions or suggestions?

Among these are Shanghai and Beijing in China, with populations of 31M and 23M million respectively, along with Delhi (35.5M), and Mumbai (22.5M) in India. However, Tokyo is the largest city in the world if the entire Tokyo metro area is included, with a total of 37M residents. Another Japanese city, Osaka, also has a very large population of 18.9M. Other non-Asian cities with high populations include: Cairo (23.5M) Sao Paulo (23.2M) Mexico City (23M) Of the European cities, Istanbul is the most populous, with 16.4M residents. This is followed by: Moscow (12.8M) Paris (11.4M) London (9.9M) These cities are of course also culturally significant and between them they welcome millions of tourists each year. There are quite a number of popular and culturally rich cities that have smaller populations, often making for higher living standards for their residents. Barcelona, Sydney, Berlin and Vancouver all have fewer than five million residents, but are very popular choices for city living. There are also some comparatively very small cities with big cultural, historical or political reputations, such as Aleppo (2.6M) Prague (1.3M) Cologne (1.2M) Jerusalem (1M)",

For comparison, the world population in 2017 (~7 billion) was roughly equal to a full 6% of the estimated 110 billion people who have ever lived. The introduction of agriculture and the gradual movement of humanity into settled communities enabled the global population to increase gradually to around 300 million by AD 0. While this is a substantial increase, it remains a tiny fraction of the current population. For example, the Roman Empire, which historians regard as one of the strongest empires the world has ever known, probably contained around 50 million people at its height—nearly 20 million less than the population of the UK today. The world population would not reach its first major milestone—one billion people—until the early 19th century. Then, as the industrial revolution took hold and living standards improved, the rate of population growth increased considerably. Over the next hundred years, the population of the world doubled, reaching two billion in the late 1920s. During the 20th century, however, population growth skyrocketed. Over the past 100 years, the planet’s population has more than tripled in size. This massive increase in human population is largely due to improvements in diet, sanitation, and medicine, especially compulsory vaccination against many diseases, which have both improved life expectancy and decreased infant mortality rates all over the world.\n\n\n────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────\nPAGE 2: Alhambra, California Population 2026\nURL: https://worldpopulationreview.com/us-cities/california/alhambra\nWords: 60\n────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────\n\nAlhambra County: Los Angeles County County Seat: No Area (mi²): 7.631 State: California Alhambra is a city located in Los Angeles County, California. Alhambra has a 2026 population of 80,279. Alhambra is currently growing at a rate of 0.04% annually but its population has decreased by -2.87% since the most recent census, which recorded a population of 82,650 in 2020.\n\n\n────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────\nPAGE 3: US States - Ranking by Population 2026\nURL: https://worldpopulationreview.com/states\nWords: 517\n────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────\n\nThe United States as a whole is the third-most-populous country in the world, with an estimated population of 347,276,000 people as of January 2025. Within that total, however, the individual states showcase a vast range of populations, from about 40 million residents in California to fewer than a million in Wyoming. Most and Least Populous States The Most Populous The Least Populous STATE POPULATION ↓ ANNUAL CHANGE California 39,896,400 0.59% Texas 32,416,700 1.77% Florida 24,306,900 1.96% New York 20,127,000 0.65% Pennsylvania 13,200,800 0.46% Illinois 12,846,000 0.53% Ohio 12,001,800 0.5% Georgia 11,413,800 1.03% North Carolina 11,375,700 1.47% Michigan 10,254,700 0.56% By far the most populous state in the United States is California, which has nearly 40 million residents and comprises nearly 12% of the country’s total population. If California were a country, it would have the fourth or fifth largest economy in the world and the 38th-highest population, ahead of countries including Canada, Australia, Peru, and Greece. Texas has the second-largest population of any US state, with more than 30 million residents (9% of the US total) as of 2023. Moreover, Texas has a growth rate of 1.34% per year, while California’s growth rate is notably lower at 0.57%. The impact of such differing growth rates is obvious when viewed over time: Since 2010, the population of Texas has increased by more than 20%, while California has grown just under 12%. The third-most-populated state in the US is Florida, with a population of more than 22.3 million and a growth rate of 1.24% per year, and the state of New York ranks fourth. About half of the 20.40 million people who live in the state of New York reside in New York. It is notable that the three most populous states in the US are among the top ten states with the longest coastlines, and both California and Texas are among the largest states in the union by land area. States in New England, along the Northeast seaboard, tend to be quite small geographically but with higher populations. Rhode Island (pop. 1,110,822) is the smallest state by land area, but it has a higher population than many larger states, including Alaska (740,339), both North Dakota and South Dakota (811,044 and 908,414, respectively), and Wyoming (580,817). Population Distribution The population of the United States is distributed unevenly across the 50 states, Washington DC, and territories such as Puerto Rico. States on the country's border tend to be the most populous, whether they be located on the West Coast (California), the East Coast (New York, Florida, arguably Pennsylvania), or the southern border (Texas, Florida again). Conversely, interior states such as those in the Great Plains and Midwest tend to be less populous. However, exceptions do exist—for example, the Great Lakes state of Illinois has the sixth-largest population of any state despite its Midwestern location. Most states in the US are currently experiencing population growth. The greatest rate of growth belongs to Florida (2.0%), followed by Texas (1.8%) and Utah (1.72%). By comparison, the state with the lowest population growth is Vermont, whose population shrank by 0.03%.

The United States comes in third with just under 325 million residents. The BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China), generally regarded as the four major emerging economies expected to dominate in the 21st century, are all in the top ten most populous countries, indicating how important the sheer size of their populations are to their economic expansion. However, a number of countries considered by the International Monetary Fund to be developing countries (that is, having not achieved a high degree of industrialization relative to their populations, and where the population typically has a medium to low standard of living) also have sizeable populations, including Nigeria (over 190 million), Bangladesh (almost 165 million) and Mexico (around 129 million), demonstrating that the issues affecting developing nations span multiple continents. Developing Nations Nigeria 242,432,000 Bangladesh 177,818,000 Mexico 132,998,000 It is notable that a number of the largest economies in the world have smaller populations, particularly in Europe. The United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Italy are all among the top ten largest economies and all have populations of under 100 million. Their numbers range from 82 million (Germany) to just under 60 million (Italy). Large Economies with Small Populations Luxembourg 687,448 Cayman Islands 77,196 Monaco 38,087 Furthermore, several extremely small countries, such as Monaco, Luxembourg, and the Cayman Islands - all with fewer than a million residents - play a much larger role in the financial world than their population numbers would suggest. In contrast, Canada, which is also a major economic player and one of the largest countries in the world by landmass, has a relatively small population for its size, with around 36.5 million residents.\n\n\n────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────\nPAGE 5: About World Population Review\nURL: https://worldpopulationreview.com/about\nWords: 604\n────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────\n\nAbout World Population Review Most demographic data is hidden in spreadsheets, behind complex APIs, or inside cumbersome tools.

Shane Fulmer Founder/CEO Daniel Stout Senior Developer Eric Bratcher Research Team Lead Jasenka Djakovic Senior Researcher Nina Djurdjev Senior Researcher Joy Stutts Content Editor Our Story What started as a small site in 2013 has grown into something remarkable. From our first million pageviews that year, we've expanded to serve over 100 million readers annually - a testament to the value we create for our growing community. The Beginning World Population Review started in 2013 as a blog focused on demographic topics, but without the comprehensive population data that defines the site today. The early version was simple: blog posts discussing population trends and demographic issues, before we began incorporating actual datasets. Despite its basic beginnings, the site reached a million pageviews in that first year - revealing significant public interest in understanding population trends, even in blog format. This early response helped shape our eventual transition toward becoming a data-driven population resource. Growth Over Time The site's evolution was driven by a clear insight: readers wanted reliable, up-to-date population data they could easily access and understand. We began systematically incorporating datasets, building data pipelines, and developing visualization tools. This shift from blog posts to comprehensive data transformed World Population Review into a trusted reference, growing from one million to over 100 million annual pageviews. Along the way, we expanded beyond population statistics to cover economics, geography, and social trends - always anchored in solid data. Looking Ahead Our focus remains on expanding what makes World Population Review valuable: reliable, accessible data. We're developing new interactive visualizations to help users better understand demographic trends, incorporating additional datasets beyond population statistics, and continuously improving site usability. These enhancements will help our growing audience of researchers, students, and curious minds better understand the numbers that shape our world. Get In Touch With Us Have questions or suggestions?

Among these are Shanghai and Beijing in China, with populations of 31M and 23M million respectively, along with Delhi (35.5M), and Mumbai (22.5M) in India. However, Tokyo is the largest city in the world if the entire Tokyo metro area is included, with a total of 37M residents. Another Japanese city, Osaka, also has a very large population of 18.9M. Other non-Asian cities with high populations include: Cairo (23.5M) Sao Paulo (23.2M) Mexico City (23M) Of the European cities, Istanbul is the most populous, with 16.4M residents. This is followed by: Moscow (12.8M) Paris (11.4M) London (9.9M) These cities are of course also culturally significant and between them they welcome millions of tourists each year. There are quite a number of popular and culturally rich cities that have smaller populations, often making for higher living standards for their residents. Barcelona, Sydney, Berlin and Vancouver all have fewer than five million residents, but are very popular choices for city living. There are also some comparatively very small cities with big cultural, historical or political reputations, such as Aleppo (2.6M) Prague (1.3M) Cologne (1.2M) Jerusalem (1M)\n\n\n────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────\nPAGE 7: Contact | World Population Review\nURL: https://worldpopulationreview.com/contact\nWords: 211\n────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────\n\nCC Settings OffArabicChineseEnglishFrenchGermanHindiPortugueseSpanish Font Colorwhite Font Opacity100% Font Size100% Font FamilyArial Text Shadownone Background Colorblack Background Opacity50% Window Colorblack Window Opacity0% WhiteBlackRedGreenBlueYellowMagentaCyan 100%75%50%25% 200%175%150%125%100%75%50% ArialGeorgiaGaramondCourier NewTahomaTimes New RomanTrebuchet MSVerdana NoneRaisedDepressedUniformDrop Shadow WhiteBlackRedGreenBlueYellowMagentaCyan 100%75%50%25%0% WhiteBlackRedGreenBlueYellowMagentaCyan 100%75%50%25%0% Contact Us If you require any more information or have any questions about the site, please feel free to contact us.
