The population model of Europe.
We take everything Europe publishes about how people live, from census counts and household budgets to social surveys, maps, prices and interest rates, and generate the people who would produce all of it at once. 541 million of them, each in a household, in a neighbourhood, with a budget that adds up.
A population, built person by person.
Europe's statistical offices publish how many people live in each region, how old they are, how they live together, what they earn and what they spend. Surveys describe how people think, what they watch and what they value. Humanity is generated from both: a record for every resident, in a household, in a neighbourhood of at most one square kilometre, shaped so that every published total holds.
Every level adds up to the next. Add the people in a neighbourhood and you get its households; add the neighbourhoods and you get the region the statistical office published. That is what lets one model answer a question about a single street and a question about a whole country with the same confidence. Try it: pick who you are looking for, and follow them from person to household to square kilometre.
Meet Lukas, one of the 541 million.
Generated like everyone else in Humanity, and every number here comes from his record: the square kilometre he lives in, his household's money, and him.
His square kilometre
The Kurpark zone of Bad Sauerbrunn, in Burgenland, with about 1,670 people to the square kilometre. The station is 249 m away and 11 stops are within 500 metres. 63% of the homes were built before 1940, and the winters ask for 3,054 heating degree days a year.
His household
He lives alone in a detached house he rents at market rate. Of €83,100 net a year he spends 61%, and he keeps 10 months of spending in reserve. There are two cars at the house, petrol and diesel.
Him
33, a professional in professional services. He cycles 5.5 km to work and pays for video and music streaming. The chance that he moves home in the next three years is 37%.
Open his whole record Every field, layer by layer
Lukas is the name we gave the record. Everything else is the record.
Why it's new.
For the first time, the whole of Europe can be asked as people. Building it took a supercomputer, statistics from more than forty countries, and a method that keeps every level in agreement. What came out is something AI has been missing: a population it can count.
- Every resident 541 million records, one for each person, across 44 country builds.
- Street-level detail Households placed in micro-zones of at most a square kilometre, so a single street can be described.
- Whole households Income, tax, wealth, debt and a 47-line budget that always sums.
- Connected layers The place shapes the household and the household shapes the person, so any attribute combines with any other.
- Comparable everywhere Built the same way in every country, so Lisbon and Luleå can be set side by side.
- Private by design Every record is synthetic, so results can be stored, shared and joined to your own data.
Useful wherever people decide.
Where should our next store open?
The people within reach of every candidate site, what they earn, and what they spend on groceries, clothes and eating out.
Who could live here?
The households around a listing, what they can afford, and how the neighbourhood is likely to change.
How big is this audience, and where does it live?
Audiences sized and placed before the buy, with the channels and subscriptions that reach them.
Which areas would a rate rise hit first?
Income, reserves, debt and budget pressure, area by area.
Where are heat pumps and electric cars ready to happen?
Homes, heating, cars, driveways and the households that can afford the switch.
Who would a new tram line serve?
The people along a route or around a site, how they travel, and how their days run.
Checked on every release.
Before a release ships, every total is compared with the published statistics, from the square kilometre up to the country, and the attitudes are compared with independent survey data that played no part in the build. A release that misses doesn't ship.
- 0people lost or counted twice, in any build
- 100%of regional totals equal to the published figure
- 47budget lines per household, always summing to the budget
44 country builds.
The EU, the EEA, the UK as its four nations, Switzerland, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the far corners from Svalbard to Madeira, all built the same way on the same schema.
Humanity is a living model. Today every answer comes from v2.2, Hoburg, which gave every record a life behind it. The next major release sends people to work and moves the model through the year.
