How this works
Nothing here is being counted in real time — nobody on Earth can do that. Each figure is recomputed from a published anchor and rate:
population(now) = anchor + rate × elapsedThe rates are World Bank estimates. They carry real uncertainty: the annual births and deaths figures below are derived from 2024 crude rates applied to the mid-2025 population, while the growth rate is World Bank's separately published 2025 figure. Those two series disagree by about —, which is why this site shows both instead of pretending they are one number. Full method →
