Yemen, Rep. Population living in slums (% of urban population): Key Points
- Measured in 2022, Yemen, Rep.'s population living in slums sits at 44.20 % (share) of urban population. The series opened at 45.46 % (share) of urban population in 2014, making the full move a 3% fall.

- 2018-2022: sits at 44.20 % (share) of urban population, near enough unchanged.
- 2014-2016: A real gap in the record here, not a flat period — the source has no reading at all for the years in between.
- One value gets repeated 4 times in a row here — worth reading as one real data point, padded out, not 4.
- 2022: The finish line reads 44.20 % (share) of urban population, 2.8% behind 2014.
Why The Line Goes Flat For Years
5 years without a single reversal is not an accident. Something durable is driving this — a rollout, a policy shift, a slow demographic change — and it hasn't stopped yet.
This series reflects Yemen, Rep.'s official reporting via the linked source. Statistics of this kind are typically benchmarked against periodic censuses or surveys, with intervening years estimated.
Urban-only data like this rarely tells the whole national story on its own. Pull up the rural version alongside it — the gap between the two is often more informative than either number alone.
The source simply doesn't have a reading for every year in this range — the 2014-to-2016 jump skips real missing years, worth keeping in mind before assuming a smooth path between them.
