Looked at in isolation, that number seems astoundingly high.ĭoes the earth have enough room to accommodate so many people? Plenty of open spaceĪs discussed in a previous post, by 2100, the world’s population is projected to balloon to 11 billion. In total, the world’s population is evenly split between the two areas, half living in the yellow and half living in the black. In other terms, the population density throughout the black area is less than 900 people per square mile.

Conversely, the black region is made up of those cells with populations of less than 8,000 people.

Since each of them has an area of about 9 square miles, the population density of each yellow cell is at least 900 people per square mile, roughly the same population density as the state of Massachusetts.

The yellow region in the map includes every cell with a population of 8,000 or more people.The population grid used here comprises 28 million cells, each one measuring roughly 3 miles x 3 miles. Whereas populations are typically broken down by geographic regions such as countries or states, gridded population data divides the world population into a grid of tiny square-shaped cells, without regard for administrative borders. This map was created using gridded population data compiled by NASA. Half the world’s population lives in the yellow.
