Caveats and explanations
  • All data is based on the 2024 edition of the UN World Population prospects.
  • Table data shows population as of January 1st of that year.
  • Historical records are based on the current territory of the country. For example, the population of Germany in 1970 includes both East Germany and West Germany.
  • Years after 2023 are projections based on the UN's "medium fertility" scenario.
  • Country population includes all overseas territories and autonomous regions. For example, population for the United States includes Puerto Rico.
  • Morocco includes Western Sahara.
  • Population for Israel does NOT include Palestine.
