Indicators
74 indicators about the world’s countries from open World Bank and Our World in Data data. Each has a map with a year axis, a ranking and a description. The data updates itself when the sources publish new years.
Population 11
- Population The number of people living in a country at mid-year – all residents, regardless of citizenship or legal status.

- Population growth The annual percentage change in the number of residents – natural increase (births minus deaths) plus net migration.
- Natural increase Births minus deaths during the year per thousand residents, leaving out migration.

- Fertility rate How many children a woman would have over her lifetime if she gave birth at each age at the current year's rates.

- Children under 15 The share of residents aged 0–14.
Health 16
- Life expectancy How many years a newborn would live if death rates at every age stayed as they are in that year.
- Life expectancy, women Life expectancy of a newborn girl, assuming death rates at every age stay as they are in that year.
- Life expectancy, men Life expectancy of a newborn boy, assuming death rates at every age stay as they are in that year.
- Life expectancy gap, women vs men How many years longer women live than men on average – female minus male life expectancy.
- Infant mortality How many of every thousand live-born babies die before their first birthday.
