Changes in the world population are determined by two metrics: the number of babies born and the number of people dying.
To understand people’s geographical distribution, we need to look at population density. How does this vary across the world?
To understand how the pandemic is evolving, it’s crucial to know how death rates from COVID-19 are affected by vaccination status.
Exponential growth is at the heart of the rapid increase of computing capabilities.
Explore the key highlights from the UN’s latest release of its world population estimates.

Johns Hopkins University will stop publishing data on confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths. Our team will replace our entire time series with WHO's data on 8 March 2023.
Our peer-reviewed article outlines seven ways to publish data better.
We are building a global dataset on COVID-19 Vaccinations. Explore the latest data for all countries.
There are two ways that COVID-19 deaths can be presented over time: by the date of death, or the date on which the death is reported. The data for Sweden is shown by date of death – this means the most recent points should be treated as incomplete.
As of 23 June 2022, we will no longer add new data points to our COVID-19 testing dataset. We will continue updates of all other metrics in our COVID-19 dataset.
Not all countries report their data in a helpful way. To help official providers of testing data, we set out some simple recommendations based the best reporting practices across the countries included in our testing dataset.
