Comment from bxl-forever
Hello,
Why did you apply the population of the Brussels Region to this node, which is only for the city? The city’s population is only 188,737.
(The Wikipedia article named "Brussels" is for the Region, not the city.)We stopped using the "population" key several years ago because of this error that non-local mappers are doing repeatedly. You might have heard that most OSM objects are linked to a corresponding Wikidata entry, which contains useful metadata which people can re-use. This avoids duplicating that info in OSM.
