World Population Density. Explore the detailed geography of population across the globe with interactive mapping and statistics. Identify global megacity regions and the growth and diversity of urban forms. Data is from the Global Human Settlement Layer 2023 by the European Commission JRC.
Visualizing the World’s Population, in 3D This project wields data from the Global Human Settlement Layer , which uses “satellite imagery, census data, and volunteered geographic information” to create population density maps.

It can be difficult to comprehend the true sizes of megacities, or the global spread of 8 billion people, but this series of population density maps makes the picture abundantly clear. Created using the EU’s population density data and mapping tool Aerialod by Alasdair Rae, the 3D-rendered maps highlight demographic trends and geographic constraint...
Click hereto view the high resolution version. Zooming into the most populated country in the world, China and its surrounding neighbors demonstrate massive clusters of urbanization. Most people are familiar with the large density centers around Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Shanghai, but the concentration in central China is surprising. The cities of ...
Click hereto view the high resolution version. At 1.38 billion people, India’s population is just behind China’s in terms of size. However, this sizable population fits into an area just one-third of China’s total land area, with the above map demonstrating what the same amount of people looks like in a smaller region. On one hand, you still have c...
Though the above maps cover the five most populated countries on Earth, accounting for nearly half of the world’s population, they only show a small part of the global picture. As the full global density map at the top of the page highlights, the population patterns can accurately illustrate some geographic patterns and constraints, while others ne...
Aug 22, 2020 · Today more than 7.8 billion people live on Earth. But the population is extremely unevenly distributed. These maps clearly describe the uneven distribution of Homo sapiens on our planet. Maps were created by Alasdair Rae, using Aerialod software and population density data.
How crowded is the world? This stunning map shows the global population density of each country, revealing where people live most and least densely. Explore the interactive version and learn more about the data and methodology behind this visualization from Visual Capitalist, a leading source of infographics and insights on business, investing, and the economy.
This map shows how many people live in different areas on Earth. The map is divided into numerous small boxes, called "grids." Each grid box is about 1 kilometer long by one kilometer wide, and it is color coded to show how many people live there.
