How this figure is calculated
People without electricity country divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
People without electricity country ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Number of people without access to electricity Data compiled from multiple sources by the World Bank – with major processing by Our World in Data
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
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.
