Population Enumerations Database

The Population Enumerations Database lists all modern population censuses since 1703 for all territories of the world (independent or not) in a standardized and readily-reusable format, indicating the population count, census type, date, territorial coverage and other relevant information on the enumeration procedure or accuracy. It is supplemented by additional datasets with lists of polities and population estimates, and Matlab code, to support the analysis of the data. See README file for more information.
