In each Red and Blue Map areas, lives 5% of the World Population

Yes it is correct! 5% of the world’s population lives in the entire blue region and the same number of people live in the red region.

There are just as many people living in the red area and in all the blue areas combined.

The blue region covers more than just uninhabited areas and deserts, in Australia, Ireland, Canada, and Saudi Arabia.
