Countries of the world by population

All 246 countries and territories ranked by current population — 7.6 billion people, with 193,824 towns and cities recorded. Each country links to its city tables, and to its 2005 archive entry for the 20-year view.

Figures are the latest available in GeoNames (CC BY 4.0), which draws on national censuses of varying dates — treat them as recent, not same-year. Country totals are GeoNames country data. Sources & method.
