The World's Population Pyramids


Earlier this twelvemonth The Pudding created an impressive interactive map which visualized the world's population inward 3D. The Pudding's Human Terrain interactive map shows population density across the globe using 3D population pyramids. The taller a pyramid block on The Pudding map in addition to therefore the to a greater extent than people alive there.

The Pudding has forthwith used its ain map to explore inward to a greater extent than item the designing of population density only about the world. In Population Mountains The Pudding examines how unevenly the populace is populated in addition to how population density tin dismiss possess got dissimilar forms inward dissimilar parts of the world.

For illustration The Pudding compares the pyramid population maps of some European cities to Kinshasa, DRC. In Kinshasa pitiable shipping infrastructure has led to a densely populated metropolis center, whereas European cities tend to possess got less densely populated centers in addition to to a greater extent than densely populated suburbs. Because of pitiable shipping inward Kinshasa the population pyramids inward the metropolis centre autumn sharply away, piece inward European cities at that topographic point tends to hold upwards a to a greater extent than gradual gradient from the centre away into the suburbs.

If y'all don't similar The Pudding's 3D visualization of the world's population in addition to therefore y'all mightiness prefer the SEDAC Population Estimator (GPWv4). This interactive map uses NASA's footing Observing System Data in addition to Information System (EOSDIS) information to exhibit where the world's population lives. The SEDAC Population Estimator map includes a tool to draw an expanse on the map to sentiment an gauge of the population that alive there.
