Population | World
Population Honeycomb Map-Built with stats from the 2004 CIA Factbook, it will
certainly help you better grasp the relative population, geographic area, and
density of the world's biggest countries. Each square represents a country. You
control how the countries are grouped within the Honeycomb, what data is represented
by the size of the square (population, size, or density) and what is represented
by the color of the square. Clicking on any square will display the country's
quick facts, along with a link to its Wikipedia entry.
Made
in the U.S.A Clicking on any state will reveal population changes expected
there. "North Dakota is the only state that is expected to decline in population."
To scroll backwards through history, click on the timeline at the bottom of the
graphic, or use the Previous button. Note changes in our racial profile (see the
graph on the right), and population density. Just above the timeline, are audio
clips about the corresponding generations, including The Lost Generation, Baby
Boomers, Gen X, and more.
