About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Mobile population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Mobile across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2023, the population of Mobile was 182,595, a 0.38% decrease year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Mobile population was 183,290, a decline of 1.02% compared to a population of 185,176 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Mobile decreased by 20,735. In this period, the peak population was 203,330 in the year 2000. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Face refers to the areal (polygon) topological primitives that make up MTDB. A face is bounded by one or more edges; its boundary includes only the edges that separate it from other faces, not any interior edges contained within the area of the face. The Topological Faces Shapefile contains the attributes of each topological primitive face. Each face has a unique topological face identifier (TFID) value. Each face in the shapefile includes the key geographic area codes for all geographic areas for which the Census Bureau tabulates data for both the 2020 Census and the annual estimates and surveys. The geometries of each of these geographic areas can then be built by dissolving the face geometries on the appropriate key geographic area codes in the Topological Faces Shapefile.

Abstract

Access to up-to-date socio-economic data is a widespread challenge in Solomon Islands and other Pacific Island Countries. To increase data availability and promote evidence-based policymaking, the Pacific Observatory provides innovative solutions and data sources to complement existing survey data and analysis. One of these data sources is a series of High Frequency Phone Surveys (HFPS), which began in 2020 as a way to monitor the socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic, and since 2023 has grown into a series of continuous surveys for socio-economic monitoring. See https://www.worldbank.org/en/country/pacificislands/brief/the-pacific-observatory for further details.

For Solmon Islands, after five rounds of data collection from 2020-2020, in April 2023 a monthly HFPS data collection commenced and continued for 18 months (ending September 2024) –on topics including employment, income, food security, health, food prices, assets and well-being. Fieldwork took place in two non-consecutive weeks of each month. Data for April 2023-December 2023 were a repeated cross section, while January 2024 established the first month of a panel, the was continued to September 2024. Each month has approximately 550 households in the sample and is representative of urban and rural areas, but is not representative at the province level. This dataset contains combined monthly survey data for all months of the continuous HFPS in Solomon Islands. There is one date file for household level data with a unique household ID. and a separate file for individual level data within each household data, that can be matched to the household file using the household ID, and which also has a unique individual ID within the household data which can be used to track individuals over time within households, where the data is panel data.

Sampling procedure

The initial sample was drawn through Random Digit Dialing (RDD) with geographic stratification. As an objective of the survey was to measure changes in household economic wellbeing over time, the HFPS sought to contact a consistent number of households across each province month to month. This was initially a repeated cross section from April 2023-Dec 2023. The initial sample was drawn from information provided by a major phone service provider in Solomon Islands, covering all the provinces in the country. It had a probability-based weighted design, with a proportionate stratification to achieve geographical representation. The geographical distribution compared to the 2019 Census is listed below for the first month of the HFPS monthly survey:

Choiseul : Census: 4.3%, HFPS: 5.2% Western : Census: 14.4%, HFPS: 13.7% Isabel : Census: 4.8%, HFPS: 4.7% Central : Census: 3.6%, HFPS: 5.2% Ren Bell : Census: 0.6%, HFPS: 1.4% Guadalcanal: Census: 19.8%, HFPS: 21.1% Malaita : Census: 23.1%, HFPS: 18.7% Makira : Census: 5.6%, HFPS: 5.6% Temotu: Census: 3.0%, HFPS: 3% Honiara: Census: 20.7%, HFPS: 21.3%

Note: The values in the HFPS column represent the proportion of survey participants residing in each province, based on the raw HFPS data from April.

In April 2023, the geographic distribution of World Bank HFPS participants was generally similar to that of the census data at the province level, though within provinces, areas with less mobile phone connectivity are likely to be underrepresented. One indication of this is that urban areas constituted 38.2 percent of the survey sample, which is a slight overrepresentation, compared to 32.5 percent in the Census 2019.

A monthly panel was established in January 2024, that is ongoing as of March 2025. In each subsequent month after January 2024, the survey firm would first attempt to contact all households from the previous month and then attempt to contact households from earlier months that had dropped out. After previous numbers were exhausted, RDD with geographic stratification was used for replacement households. Across all months of the survey a total of, 9,926 interviews were completed.

Mode of data collection

Computer Assisted Telephone Interview [cati]

Research instrument

The questionnaire, which can be found in the External Resources of this documentation, is available in English, with Solomons Pijin translation. There were few changes to the questionnaire across the survey months, but some sections were only introduced in 2024, namely energy access questions and questions to inform the baseline data of the Solomon Islands Government Integrated Economic Development and Climate Resilience (IEDCR) project.

Cleaning operations

The raw data were cleaned by the World Bank team using STATA. This included formatting and correcting errors identified through the survey’s monitoring and quality control process. The data are presented in two datasets: a household dataset and an individual dataset. The total number of observations is 9,926 in the household dataset and 62,054 in the individual dataset. The individual dataset contains information on individual demographics and labor market outcomes of all household members aged 15 and above, and the household data set contains information about household demographics, education, food security, food prices, household income, agriculture activities, social protection, access to services, and durable asset ownership. The household identifier (hhid) is available in both the household dataset and the individual dataset. The individual identifier (id_member) can be found in the individual dataset.

Although the American Community Survey (ACS) produces population, demographic and housing unit estimates, the decennial census is the official source of population totals for April 1st of each decennial year. In between censuses, the Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program produces and disseminates the official estimates of the population for the nation, states, counties, cities, and towns and estimates of housing units and the group quarters population for states and counties..Information about the American Community Survey (ACS) can be found on the ACS website. Supporting documentation including code lists, subject definitions, data accuracy, and statistical testing, and a full list of ACS tables and table shells (without estimates) can be found on the Technical Documentation section of the ACS website.Sample size and data quality measures (including coverage rates, allocation rates, and response rates) can be found on the American Community Survey website in the Methodology section..Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2019-2023 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates.ACS data generally reflect the geographic boundaries of legal and statistical areas as of January 1 of the estimate year. For more information, see Geography Boundaries by Year..Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see ACS Technical Documentation). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables..Users must consider potential differences in geographic boundaries, questionnaire content or coding, or other methodological issues when comparing ACS data from different years. Statistically significant differences shown in ACS Comparison Profiles, or in data users' own analysis, may be the result of these differences and thus might not necessarily reflect changes to the social, economic, housing, or demographic characteristics being compared. For more information, see Comparing ACS Data..Ancestry listed in this table refers to the total number of people who responded with a particular ancestry; for example, the estimate given for German represents the number of people who listed German as either their first or second ancestry. This table lists only the largest ancestry groups; see the Detailed Tables for more categories. Race and Hispanic origin groups are not included in this table because data for those groups come from the Race and Hispanic origin questions rather than the ancestry question (see Demographic Table)..Data for year of entry of the native population reflect the year of entry into the U.S. by people who were born in Puerto Rico or U.S. Island Areas or born outside the U.S. to a U.S. citizen parent and who subsequently moved to the U.S..The category "with a broadband Internet subscription" refers to those who said "Yes" to at least one of the following types of Internet subscriptions: Broadband such as cable, fiber optic, or DSL; a cellular data plan; satellite; a fixed wireless subscription; or other non-dial up subscription types..An Internet "subscription" refers to a type of service that someone pays for to access the Internet such as a cellular data plan, broadband such as cable, fiber optic or DSL, or other type of service. This will normally refer to a service that someone is billed for directly for Internet alone or sometimes as part of a bundle.."With a computer" includes those who said "Yes" to at least one of the following types of computers: Desktop or laptop; smartphone; tablet or other portable wireless computer; or some other type of computer..Caution should be used when comparing data for computer and Internet use before and after 2016. Changes in 2016 to the questions involving the wording as well as the response options resulted in changed response patterns in the data. Most noticeable are increases in overall computer ownership or use, the total of Internet subscriptions, satellite subscriptions, and cellular data plans for a smartphone or other mobile device.

As of February 2025, around 322 million people in the United States accessed the internet, making it one of the largest online markets worldwide. The country currently ranks third after China and India by the online audience size. Overview of internet usage in the United States The digital population in the United States has constantly increased in recent years. Among the most common reasons is the growing accessibility of broadband internet. A big part of the country's digital audience accesses the web via mobile phones. In 2024, the country saw an estimated 97.1 percent mobile internet user penetration. According to a 2024 survey, over 51 percent of U.S. women and 43 percent of men said it is important to them to have mobile internet access anywhere, at any time. Another 41 percent of respondents could not imagine their everyday life without the internet. Google and YouTube are the most visited websites in the country, while music, food, and drinks were the most discussed online topics. Internet usage demographics in the United States While some users can no longer imagine their life without the internet, others do not use it at all. According to 2021 data, 25 percent of U.S. adults 65 and older reported not using the internet. Despite this, online usage was strong across other age groups, especially young adults aged 18 to 49. This age group also reported the highest percentage of smartphone usage in the country as of 2023. Due to a persistent lack of connectivity in rural areas, more online users were based in urban areas of the U.S. than in the countryside.

The data show the share of daily mobile internet users in Germany from 2019 to 2023. In 2023, around ** percent of respondents used mobile internet daily. This was an increase compared to the year before, and reflective of the increase in mobile phone use in daily life as technology advances.

As of February 2025, 5.56 billion individuals worldwide were internet users, which amounted to 67.9 percent of the global population. Of this total, 5.24 billion, or 63.9 percent of the world's population, were social media users. Global internet usage Connecting billions of people worldwide, the internet is a core pillar of the modern information society. Northern Europe ranked first among worldwide regions by the share of the population using the internet in 20254. In The Netherlands, Norway and Saudi Arabia, 99 percent of the population used the internet as of February 2025. North Korea was at the opposite end of the spectrum, with virtually no internet usage penetration among the general population, ranking last worldwide. Eastern Asia was home to the largest number of online users worldwide – over 1.34 billion at the latest count. Southern Asia ranked second, with around 1.2 billion internet users. China, India, and the United States rank ahead of other countries worldwide by the number of internet users. Worldwide internet user demographics As of 2024, the share of female internet users worldwide was 65 percent, five percent less than that of men. Gender disparity in internet usage was bigger in African countries, with around a ten percent difference. Worldwide regions, like the Commonwealth of Independent States and Europe, showed a smaller usage gap between these two genders. As of 2024, global internet usage was higher among individuals between 15 and 24 years old across all regions, with young people in Europe representing the most significant usage penetration, 98 percent. In comparison, the worldwide average for the age group 15–24 years was 79 percent. The income level of the countries was also an essential factor for internet access, as 93 percent of the population of the countries with high income reportedly used the internet, as opposed to only 27 percent of the low-income markets.
