Figures are the latest available in GeoNames (CC BY 4.0), which draws on national censuses of varying dates — treat them as recent, not same-year. Country totals are UN World Population Prospects 2024 (medium variant) where the UN lists the country separately; the handful it reports under a parent state keep a GeoNames figure and are marked as such. Sources & method.
The UN's World Population Prospects does not list Christmas Island separately — it is reported under a parent state, or is not a UN member — so the total above comes from GeoNames and carries no stated vintage. Treat it as approximate.
