If the World Were a Village of 100 People

Ever heard of that old story of if the world were a village of 100 people? It’s a simple way of representing percentages of different demographicsaround the world. For instance, “33 villagers would be Christians, 20 would be Muslims”, and “4 would be African, 11 would be European”

I’ve always found this to be an effective way of getting a basic breakdown of so, so many different groups of related objects, but like many things, it’s better represented by an infographic! Thankfully, someone’s done just that in a very interactive, attractive way. The village can be browsed by ‘neighbourhood’ so you can see just the religious, gender, racial, or homosexual parts of statistics. Very cool.
