How this is estimated

This page uses a rounded global baseline. Update the value when your sources page or data refresh cycle changes.

Pulse Of Globe pages use publicly available yearly statistics and convert them into real-time estimates. Values are directional estimates, not official live measurements. For methodology and public datasets, visit the Data Sources page.
