Health pages map the demographic and health indicators that shape a population: how long people live, how many children they have, and how those numbers have moved over decades.
Every map is loaded live from the World Bank Indicators API and joined to Natural Earth boundaries in the browser, so there is no dataset file to download.

Category FAQ
The life expectancy and fertility maps read the World Bank Indicators API live in your browser, using the World Bank's published series (which compile UN and national sources).
The World Bank does not publish an observation for every country in every year. Countries without a value for the selected year are left uncoloured rather than showing an older figure as if it were current.
