Zh-hans:Key:population

键population=<number>可用于指示给定位置的大致公民数量。

只要有可能，建议也将键source:population=*添加到同一对象，其值应为计算人口的机构名称和计算人口的年份。

这样，其他人可以轻松地验证和更新这些值。

另外，为了更准确地指定人口统计日期，您可以添加 ISO 8601格式的键population:date=*。

如果可能的话，人口数字应该是一个稳定的数字。 通常，它包括居民，但不包括可能因商务或休闲目的而到访该地点的非居民。它不应反映临时事件，例如与天气有关的疏散。

Examples

• name=Joinville
• population=546981
• source:population=IBGE 2013 (i.e. IBGE counted the current population of this place on 2013)
• place=city

• name=Москва
• population=12197596
• population:date=2015-01-01
• source:population=ФСГС
• place=city

Software support

Some renderers use this key to show more populated cities more prominently, such as by labeling them with larger text, displaying them at lower zoom levels, or prioritizing them over nearby less populated places. [1] Search engines can also use this key to rank search results.

• OSM Inspector displays population

Alternatives

• wikidata=* allows data consumers to look up the population on Wikidata. The linked item may contain one or more population (P1082) statements, including historical population statements. Data consumers should use the statement with preferred rank or the statement that has the most recent point in time (P585) qualifier.
• census:population=* is a nonstandard tag that was introduced in an import and remains common on place features in the United States. It should no longer be added to new features, but data consumers may use it as a fallback if population=* is absent and Wikidata lookups are infeasible.
