International Demography stats from US Census Bureau
It’s always exciting to discover a reliable source of international statistics! The US Census bureau has a great database of demographic indicators for “countries and areas of the world with a population of 5,000 or more.” Indicators are:
- Birth, death, and growth rates, migration rates, infant mortality, and life expectancy
- Fertility rates
- Total population and population by age and sex
And, always vital when dealing with sources of international statistics – the Census Bureau evaluate national census/survey results and accurately date them to ensure consistent data across countries. Data is currently available in table format; after July 1, 2009 you can also generate “population pyramids!”
