It is known that [[Earth]] was deemed overpopulated in the 22nd century, jump-starting the colonization programs of the time. An estimate by Doctor Catherine Halsey and the UNSC in 2511 placed the human population in UNSC-controlled space at 39 billion, of which many were unrecorded by colonial infrastructure.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]''</ref> After twenty seven years of war with the genocidal Covenant, with Cortana's death count of approximately 23 billion,<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions]]''', ''page 351''</ref> the surviving human population can be estimated at 16 - 20 billion. With Earth devastated by the Covenant invasion, reducing the planet's own population to only 200 million, it is likely that the majority of the survivors are from the remaining UNSC colonies.<ref | It is known that [[Earth]] was deemed overpopulated in the 22nd century, jump-starting the colonization programs of the time.
