Graph of world population over the past 12,000 years . As a general rule, the confidence of estimates on historical world population decreases for the more distant past. Robust population data exist only for the last two or three centuries. Until the late 18th century, few governments had ever performed an accurate census.

The total number immigrating in each decade from 1790 to 1820 are estimates. The number of foreign born in the 1830s and 1840s are extrapolations.
