Census data reveals that population density varies noticeably from area to area. Small area census data do a better job depicting where the crowded neighborhoods are. In this map, the yellow areas of highest density range from 30,000 to 150,000 persons per square kilometer. In those areas, if the people were spread out evenly across the area, there would be just 4 to 9 meters between them. Very high density areas exceed 7,000 persons per square kilometer. High density areas exceed 5,200 persons per square kilometer. The last categories break at 3,330 persons per square kilometer, and 1,500 persons per square kilometer.This dataset is comprised of multiple sources.

For the vast majority of human existence, our global population remained a mere fraction of what it is today. However, the last few centuries have borne witness to an extraordinary transformation in human demography. In the year 1800, the global population stood at a modest one billion individuals. Fast forward to the present day, and we find ourselves amidst a staggering figure of over 8 billion people inhabiting our planet.

Yet, despite this exponential growth trajectory, demographers now project a fascinating shift on the horizon: the expectation that global population growth will plateau by the close of this century.

Within the vast repository of Our World in Data, we delve deeply into the intricacies of population dynamics, offering a comprehensive array of data, charts, and analyses elucidating the nuanced changes in population growth. From the geographical distribution of populations to temporal shifts and future projections, our platform serves as a rich tapestry of insights into this paramount aspect of human civilization.

One of the most illuminating tools at our disposal is the population cartogram—a unique visualization method that transcends traditional geographical maps to provide a more accurate depiction of global population distribution. Unlike conventional maps, which delineate territories based solely on landmass, population cartograms offer a perspective where countries are resized according to their respective populations.

In our exploration of the population cartogram for the year 2018, we uncover a myriad of revelations. Small nations characterized by high population densities manifest as enlarged entities, accentuating their significance on the global stage. Bangladesh, Taiwan, and the Netherlands emerge prominently, their amplified proportions underscoring their demographic density. Conversely, vast territories with comparatively sparse populations undergo a visual reduction in size. Countries like Canada, Mongolia, Australia, and Russia, despite their expansive landmasses, shrink in relative stature, highlighting the intriguing interplay between territory and population.

This innovative approach to mapping not only challenges conventional perceptions but also provides invaluable insights into the complex mosaic of human settlement patterns and demographic trends. By transcending the limitations of traditional cartography, population cartograms offer a nuanced lens through which to perceive the evolving dynamics of our global community.

To delve deeper into the nuances of this population cartogram and its implications, we invite you to explore our comprehensive article dedicated to this fascinating subject. Within its pages, you will find a detailed analysis, accompanied by captivating visuals and insightful commentary, elucidating the significance of population cartograms in understanding our world.

At Our World in Data, we remain committed to unraveling the complexities of global population dynamics, offering a platform that fosters informed discourse and deepens our understanding of the forces shaping our collective future. Join us on this illuminating journey as we navigate the ever-changing landscape of human demography, charting a course towards a more enlightened tomorrow.

This dataset presents information on historical central government revenues for 31 countries in Europe and the Americas for the period from 1800 (or independence) to 2012. The countries included are: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, Ecuador, Finland, France, Germany (West Germany between 1949 and 1990), Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the United States, Uruguay, and Venezuela. In other words, the dataset includes all South American, North American, and Western European countries with a population of more than one million, plus Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Mexico. The dataset contains information on the public finances of central governments. To make such information comparable cross-nationally we have chosen to normalize nominal revenue figures in two ways: (i) as a share of the total budget, and (ii) as a share of total gross domestic product. The total tax revenue of the central state is disaggregated guided by the Government Finance Statistics Manual 2001 of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) which provides a classification of types of revenue, and describes in detail the contents of each classification category. Given the paucity of detailed historical data and the needs of our project, we combined some subcategories. First, we are interested in total tax revenue (centaxtot), as well as the shares of total revenue coming from direct (centaxdirectsh) and indirect (centaxindirectsh) taxes. Further, we measure two sub-categories of direct taxation, namely taxes on property (centaxpropertysh) and income (centaxincomesh). For indirect taxes, we separate excises (centaxexcisesh), consumption (centaxconssh), and customs(centaxcustomssh).
