The world as 100 people — where they live

If the world were 100 people

Shrink the world's 8 billion people down to 100 and the big picture becomes crystal clear: 59 would live in Asia, 57 in a city, 25 would be children and only 68 would use the internet. Pick an alternative — where people live, city vs countryside, men vs women, children vs adults, religion, internet access, literacy or food — and both the world map and the 100-person picture update instantly.

Every figure comes from a named, serious data source with its year attached: UN World Population Prospects 2024, the World Bank, ITU, UNESCO, FAO and Pew Research Center. Numbers like these change every year, so each view shows exactly which source and year it is based on — never AI-generated statistics.

Good to know

  • 1 person of the 100 = about 82 million people.
  • Asia alone would be home to 59 of the 100.
  • By the late 2070s, people 65+ will outnumber children under 18.

How it works

  1. 1Pick an alternative at the top — continent, city vs countryside, men vs women, age groups, religion, internet, literacy or food.
  2. 2Watch the world map recolor itself based on the alternative you choose.
  3. 3Read the breakdown as 100 person figures — each figure represents 1% of humanity (about 82 million people).
  4. 4Hover over any country to see its details, and check the source and year under each breakdown.
