Understanding the live counters
These real-time estimates model demographic activity based on annual rates from 2026.
- Rates are averaged across the year, so actual daily counts will fluctuate.
- Unexpected events (pandemics, disasters, policy changes) can shift these numbers quickly.
- Migration plays a significant role in net change alongside births and deaths.
Key terms
- Real-time counters
- — Live estimates derived from annual demographic rates evenly distributed throughout the year.
- Natural change
- — Net change from births minus deaths (excluding migration).
- Net migration
- — Balance of people moving into vs. leaving the country.
- Population growth
- — Total change combining births, deaths, and migration.

A city here follows the UN's Degree of Urbanisation method: a contiguous area averaging at least 1,500 people per km² and totalling at least 50,000. It is measured from population grids rather than municipal boundaries, so one can cover far more ground than the place it is named after, and two neighbouring centres can appear as separate cities. It can also reach across a national border, so in a few small territories the city holds more people than the territory itself.
