Disconnect found 34 and µBlock found 20. In a backwards kind of way, it makes sense that The Economist of all magazines sells your data so much.

I have to agree, the predictions aren't great. For Europe they predict almost every city to grow 5-10% even though most of Europe's fertility has fallen below replacement rates:

My guess is that they haven't heard of the Second Demographic Transition and assumed that the world's growth would happen almost everywhere.
