Data Sheets

PRB is well-known for producing comprehensive data sheets covering population, health, and environment topics. These colorful wallcharts contain rich stores of demographic and health data for countries and regions around the world. Several of these data sheets are now online.

Several of these data sheets are also searchable in PRB's DataFinder—a database that contains data on 244 U.S. variables and 132 world variables, and for 210 countries. You can create country or U.S. state profiles of important demographic variables such as total population, fertility rates, infant mortality rates, and HIV/AIDS prevalence.

2008 World Population Data Sheet

PRB's 2008 World Population Data Sheet contains the latest population estimates, projections, and other key indicators for more than 200 countries, including births, deaths, natural increase, infant mortality, life expectancy, urban population, HIV/AIDS prevalence, contraceptive use, GNI PPP per capita, and population per square kilometer. New for the 2008 Data Sheet are data on percent of population in urban areas of 750,000 or more; lifetime risk of maternal death; percent of population undernourished; number of vehicles per 1,000 population; and percent of population with access to an improved drinking water source.
