Total population

Tier A· OfficialDescriptive

Total number of people. A descriptive size measure — bigger is not better.

100 = most populous, 0 = least populous — descriptive, not better or worse

How this score is built

Total population (World Bank indicator SP.POP.TOTL, from UN Population Division and national sources). This is a descriptive magnitude on a log scale — a larger population is neither better nor worse, so it is shown with a neutral colour and kept off the Compare radar. Latest year per country; the sparkline shows the trend.
