How this figure is calculated
Number of people with and without electricity access divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Number of people with and without electricity access ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Number of people with and without electricity access Data compiled from multiple sources by the World Bank – with major processing by Our World in Data
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
