Country Comparison by Population

28th August 2021 • 0 Comment

With the entire world’s population approaching the 8 billion threshold, it is interesting to see how all of us are distributed around continents and countries. More than half of all people in the world reside in the Asian continent, with China and India each having more than 1 billion residents. Population density is also an important piece of data to analyze – an interesting case is Hong Kong. The population density there is quite high, and this special administrative region of China has even gained some popularity online, with some vloggers exploring its micro-apartments and evaluating how comfortable living there can be.

If you’re slightly or full-on claustrophobic, maybe it’s best to find a large room in a regular hotel. Maybe go for a Europe vacation, some tourist spots in some countries might be crowded, but it’s mostly not really comparable to Asian countries. Enjoy some space!
