It does this by reducing the world's population (6.26 billion people) to 626 people. Out of that 626 people, it shows that 231 live in "Povertyville" (avg yearly income = $440), 265 live in "Slumtown" (avg yearly income = $1,490), 33 live in "Low Income City" (avg yearly income = $5,440), 92 live in "Pleasanttown" (avg yearly income = $28,600), and the remaining 5 people (<1% of the world's population) earn an average of $60,000 per year. This is a similar method to looking at other global demographics depicted in this video. Submitted By: Paul Dean
