Among its first-level divisions, the largest by our modelled allocation is Hikutavake, holding an estimated 25.9% of the national population. The full breakdown of all 14 states and regions is in the table below — regional figures outside Sudan are modelled estimates built on real region names, and are flagged as such.

Literacy stands near 98.0% and adult smoking prevalence around 25.0%. Baselines come from UN World Population Prospects, the World Bank, WHO surveys, WorldPop and HDX; the counters project them forward in real time — the method, and every caveat, is documented on our data sources page.
