Visualizing the population of the world in 2025 using 8 000 physical markers. A lot has changed since my visualization in 2020, let’s take a look at the population distribution today.
Legend: Colours for continents, orange for North America, Central America and the Caribbean. Purple for South America. Pink for Europe. Yellow for Africa. Blue for Oceania. Red for Asia. 1 marker represent 1 million people rounded down. The small plastic cubes in every region's respective colour represent 100 000 people rounded down. The white plastic cube indicates a country or territory of less than 100 000 people.
In this visualization the list of countries and territories is from the United Nations. The political or geographical implication of the map/population data visualized does not necessarily represent the views of the video creator.
