The U.S. Census Bureau has released updated population estimates and projections extending to the year 2100 for 21 countries and areas, according to a statement issued today. The data is part of the International Database (IDB), which now includes new analyses and information for nations such as Australia, Bangladesh, Barbados, Botswana, Burundi, Cameroon, El Salvador, Eswatini, Guatemala, Iran, Jamaica, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Nigeria, Philippines, Rwanda, Togo, Tunisia, the United States, and Zambia.
This update also covers demographic details for 13,671 subnational regions worldwide that are comparable to states or counties in the United States. The IDB provides figures on population size and growth by sex and single year of age up to age 100 and older. It also tracks components of change including mortality rates, fertility rates and net international migration across more than 220 countries and areas.
The latest release draws from recent censuses as well as surveys and administrative records. Enhanced mapping features have been added to help users better visualize demographic changes.
