How Are Countries Ranked by Population?

[Campus reveiw]

Country population rankings may look simple, but the numbers are estimates rather than permanent fixed values.

Population changes through births, deaths and migration. Researchers therefore use census results, demographic records, surveys and population models to estimate the number of people living in each country.



The Campus Review's guide explains the methodology behind its 2026 population ranking and compares the world's largest and smallest populations.

It also introduces population density as a separate way of understanding how people are distributed geographically.
