World Bank Subnational Population Database, 2000-2016

The database has time series data from 2000 onwards, with total population numbers for each area and the shares relative to total national population estimates.<br> <br> The common data source of population estimates for most countries is a census, often conducted every 10 years or so. Many countries publish annual estimates between census years, but few publish similar population estimates for subnational regions. This database aims to provide intercensal estimates using a standard methodology.<br> <br>These data were first provided by the UK Data Service in April 2016.<br>
