Population and Indicators Dataset

The Onyx Data DataDNA Challenge - February 2025

Proudly Sponsored by Enterprise DNA

Enterprise DNA is proud to partner with Onyx Data for the February 2025 DataDNA Challenge! In this challenge, participants will work with the Population and Indicators Dataset to explore historical and current population data. The dataset spans from 1970 to 2024 and provides a unique opportunity to analyze urbanisation patterns, population growth, and the concentration of populations in major urban centers.

Whether you are a data enthusiast, student, or professional, this challenge is your chance to test your analytical skills, learn from others, and gain recognition in the global data community.

What is the Dataset About?

In an era of rapid urbanisation and population growth, understanding demographic trends is essential for effective urban planning and policymaking. This dataset focuses on analyzing annual historical data to uncover insights into:

• Overall population growth trends
• The proportion of urban residents relative to the total population
• The absolute scale of urban populations
• The dynamics of urban population growth
• The concentration of people living in major urban agglomerations (with over 1 million inhabitants)

Participants are encouraged to analyze this real-world dataset, uncover actionable insights, and craft data-driven stories that inform policy decisions and sustainable development strategies.
