Worldometers

Real time world statistics.

Worldometers is run by an international team of developers, researchers, and volunteers with the goal of making world statistics available in a thought-provoking and time relevant format to a wide audience around the world. We have no political, governmental, or corporate affiliation.

Worldometers was voted as one of the best free reference websites by the American Library Association (ALA).

Worldometers was chosen as content provider at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), BBC News, and the National Media Museum (UK), and by U2, among others.

Worldometers is cited as a source in over 400 published books, in more than 150 professional journal articles, and in over 125 Wikipedia pages. The website is considered a formidable educational tool and it is shown in classrooms around the world.

Worldometers, within the Real Time Statistics Project, has launched other websites such as Internet Live Stats, 7 Billion World, USA Right Now, StoptheHunger, and ItaliaOra.

We pioneered two methods of visualizing data: the Single Unit Isotype and the Live Isotype

Worldometers is owned by Dadax, an independent company.

Chief Project Coordinator is Sir Thomasson.

Managing Director is Peter Collins.

How it works

The counters that display the real-time numbers are based on Worldometers’ algorithm that processes the latest and most accurate statistical data available together with its projected progression to compute the estimated current millisecond number to be displayed on each counter based on the specific time set on each visitor’s computer clock. Sources are carefully selected to include only data published by the most reputable organizations and statistical offices in the world.
