RankCountry(or dependent territory)July 1, 2015projectionCalculated, when available, from the latest national censuses or most recent official estimates (many of which are cited in their respective column), using the exponential formula shown on the List of countries by past and future population article. This is done to normalize the different populations to a unique date, so that they are really comparable.% ofpop.Averagerelativeannualgrowth(%)It corresponds to the following formula: projection2015/projection2014x100-100.AverageabsoluteannualgrowthIt corresponds to the calculation: projection2015*annual_growth/100.Estimateddoublingtime(Years)It corresponds to the formula: LN(2)/LN(growth/100+1), which produces exactly the same result as LOG10(2)/LOG10(growth/100+1).Officialfigure(whereavailable)Date oflast figureSource11,299,499,00055.121.6420,998,00043 , Official population clock2191,785,0008.142.003,765,00035 , Official population clock3184,264,0007.822.915,205,00024174,000,0002013Official estimate4158,762,0006.731.372,139,00051 , Official population clock565,093,0002.760.77495,0009164,596,800June 30, 2014Official estimate654,957,0002.331.61873,0004354,956,900July 1, 2015Official estimate748,829,0002.072.971,407,0002447,421,7862014Official estimate844,234,0001.882.871,234,0002443,000,0002014Official estimate935,819,0001.520.79279,00089 , Official estimate1035,760,0001.523.091,071,0002334,856,813August 28, 2014Preliminary 2014 census result1131,032,0001.321.84561,00038 , Official population clock1227,714,0001.182.48671,0002827,043,0932014Official estimate1325,728,0001.092.74686,0002625,727,9112015Official estimate1423,792,0001.011.42333,00049 , Official population clock1521,918,0000.932.65565,0002721,917,60220151620,869,0000.890.94194,0007420,771,000July 1, 2014Official estimate 1716,307,0000.693.18502,0002216,832,900July 1, 2016Official estimate1815,474,0000.663.00451,0002315,473,9052015Official estimate1911,324,0000.482.61288,0002710,515,973August 15, 2012Final 2012 census result 208,219,0000.353.11248,000237,744,7002015Official estimate216,513,0000.282.57163,000276,348,3502014Official estimate225,541,0000.241.3071,000545,535,000July 1, 2015Official estimate234,579,0000.191.5369,00046 , Official population clock242,729,0000.120.267,0002702,723,246December 31, 2014Official estimate252,281,0000.102.0145,000352,280,700July 1, 2015Official estimate262,176,0000.091.9241,000362,024,904August 22, 2011Final 2011 census result272,022,0003.2764,000222,101,000July 1, 2017UN projection281,908,0000.080.214,0003301,894,1942011Official estimate291,357,0000.060.527,0001341,349,6672015Official estimate301,263,0000.050.162,0004371,261,208July 1, 2014Official estimate311,119,0000.051.1813,000591,119,3752015Official estimate32867,0000.040.464,000150867,0002015Official estimate33846,0000.04-0.94-8,000-858,000December 31, 2013Official estimate 34747,0000.030.000-747,884September 15, 2012Preliminary 2012 census result35587,0000.022.2613,00031642,0002015Official estimate36425,0000.020.472,000147417,432November 20, 20112011 census result 37421,0000.021.697,00041393,162June 20, 2011Preliminary 2011 census result38379,0000.021.345,00052369,6702015Official estimate39369,0000.022.509,00028368,310June 2015Official estimate40283,0000.010.351,000196277,821May 1, 20102010 census result41278,0000.012.587,00027277,6002015Official estimate42193,0000.010.521,000133194,8992016Official estimate43172,0000.010.581,000119166,526May 10, 2010Preliminary 2010 census result44113,0000.001.802,00039113,4002015Official estimate45110,0000.000.000-109,4342014Official estimate46104,0000.000.000-103,328May 12, 2011Preliminary 2011 census result47104,0000.000.000-103,3002015Official estimate4897,0000.001.041,0006790,945August 26, 2010Final 2010 census result4989,0000.001.141,0006185,567May 27, 2011Final 2011 census result5071,0000.000.000-71,293May 14, 2011Preliminary 2011 census result 5146,0000.000.000-46,204May 15, 20112011 census result5211,0000.000.000-11,3002015Official estimate5310,0000.000.000-10,9002015Official estimateTotal2,357,512,000100.001.3742,433,00064
