OSM Tag History
The
population
key can be used to indicate a rough number of citizens in a given place.
Whenever possible, it is recommended to also add the key
source
population
=*
to the same object, having as its value the name of the institution that counted the population and the year when the population was counted.
This way other people can easily verify and update these values. Also, for a more accurate designation of the population counting date, you can add a key
population
date
=*
in
ISO 8601
format.
The population figure should be a stable number if possible. Typically, it includes residents but excludes non-residents who may be visiting the place for business or leisure. It should not reflect a temporary event, such as a weather-related evacuation.

Software support
Some renderers use this key to show more populated cities more prominently, such as by labeling them with larger text, displaying them at lower zoom levels, or prioritizing them over nearby less populated places.
