How this figure is calculated
Urban area long term divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Urban area long term ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Urban area over the long-term HYDE (2025) – with minor processing by Our World in Data
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
