Half of the world’s population lives in this circle. This circle is called Valerie Piris Circle and the circle's center is a small town in Myanmar called Mong Khet. Its radius is surprisingly small, about 3,300 kilometers. This circle doesn't include Africa, Europe, the Americas, or Australia.
So, how does half the world's population live here? Well, India and most of China are already in the circle, with 2.8 billion people combined. The Philippines and Indonesia add another 118 and 227 million people, respectively. Even Bangladesh, similar in size to Iowa, adds 172 million.
This region is densely populated because of its vast farmland and warm climate, allowing for large population growth.
