Share of worldwide living in lands:
• Between the : in 2014, the region was home to 40% of the world's population, and this figure was then projected to reach 50% by 2050
• South of the Tropic of Capricorn: about 2.8% quora.com/What-proportion-of-t
• About half the world’s population lives north of 27 degrees north: radicalcartography.net/index.h
• North of the Tropic of Cancer: around 55% if we take above figures plus the below chart:

A striking feature of the above polls and stats is that almost no one living between the Tropics sees my toots 😄 even though almost one person in two lives between the Tropics!

What is your latitude?

Please 🚨 boost so that we obtain a good panel.

@anatole Oops, I meant to vote " between the tropics" instead of "below tropic of Capricorn".

@Fanua
Thank you for trying!
I had hesitated on the order of:
- tropical
- south of tropics
Would you suggest that next time i invert them? That is: list options from South to North (and so from least to most numerous)?

Would you mention the poll to friends that live "between the Tropics"?

@anatole I think a North to South listing is logical, as that's how it's shown on maps. Yes, I would suggest the poll to others; some of my followers would fall in that category, although a small minority.

@Fanua

We are the right way up.
Its you guys that are down under.

@anatole

@SuperMoosie Sure, you are the right way up; and you drive on the correct lane of the road 👍🏽
@Fanua

@anatole no separate category for the few people on here that live south of the 40° South parallel? Smh my head

@elexia
I think i'll make a North to South listing next time; with "Down Under" as the last item.

For the moment you may use "South of Tropic of Capricorn". It garnered 14% so far and 6% in 2022.

@anatole oh, I'm covered, I live in Austria, so I'm north of 40°N like most people that voted so far
