Global poverty decline
Our World in Data's line chart drew 11.2K views on X: 0.4x its typical post and #140 of 150 Our World in Data charts we track by views. Read Oct 24, 2026.
No matter what poverty line you choose, the share of the global population below it has declined.
Why it spread
It spread because the post explains itself and comes from a big source, reaching 6,728 views with 118 likes, 43 reposts, 4 quotes and 22 saves.
What worked
- The post explains itself, so readers grasp the poverty decline without extra context.
- The chart is highly self labelling, with a source line shown and a branded look.
- The source is a big one in the top quarter of reach, and the quote rate is above average.
What to borrow
We could pair a plain self explaining headline with a clearly labelled line chart and a visible source line, then let our brand carry the reach.
Careful
Do not over read the small engagement counts or assume the design alone drove the spread, since the big source and self explaining framing did much of the work.
