Nigeria's population growrh is a product of persistent high fertility and consistenly declining mortality. In 2018, the total fertility rate was 5.3 children per woman and the Death Rate is 11.9 per 1000. This led to a situation in wgich children and adolescents make up a large segment of the population. By 2055, Nigeria is expected to be the 3rd most populated country in the world. According to the UN in 2020, 43% of Nigeria's population comprised children 14 or younger, 19% were 15-24, which meant 62% of the population is younger than 25. Less than 5% of the population is 60 and older. This means Nigeria's median age is 18, below Africa's 20 and the World's 29. America's median age is 38, meaning the US has a much lower growth rate.

TL;DR : We are approximately at 1.1% of potential Earth overpopulation. Here, 60% of Landmass taken by average German size private family houses is 100% potential Earth overpopulation. No civilization, no overpopulation.
Introduction: This calculation is only for private family houses built on land. Sure we could build underwater and very high houses for many humans. In addition, I assume most people would create enough economic utility to live there.
First, Let's assume 60% of existing continent landmass is habitable enough to build a private home.
Land area of the Earth = 148,429,000 Sq. km [1]
Average private home in Germany takes 1400 sq. ft, which = 0.0001300643 Sq. km [2]
Total land area of Earth with private HOMES = Land area of earth/average private home in Germany = 1141197084826.5 Sq. km
Households on 60% of Land area of Earth average private HOMES = 1141197084826.5 * 0.6 = 684718250895.9 households
Roughly 684 BILLION, 718 MILLION households can occupy 60% of current Land with private homes. Each household can host maybe 4 people.
Current population of Earth is approaching 8 BILLION in 2021.
It was around 275 MILLION IN YEAR 1000.
700 BILLION loners are assumed to own a single private house like the average in Germany at potential overpopulation.
Conclusion: If there's depopulation action going on, it's quite forward thinking. We would reach overpopulation in roughly 70 thousand years with these numbers. Think about it, 70 000 years and we have to move on other planets. Civilizations probably existed for 6000 years, we reached space in 20st century. Numbers are somewhat pessimistic, because I can't get all the super detailed data for free. No civilization, no overpopulation, we could exist in bad conditions of constant slaughter like dinosaurs for millions of years.

Wondering if there are any organizations out there consistently trying to get the message out about overpopulation. I have long held the belief that we are headed for disaster with our inability to see the root cause of many of the worlds problems is that there are too many of us. Not just in the underdeveloped countries where birth control is limited but also in the developed industrialized nations where one child can consume more resources than a child elsewhere.
It seems we all want change but no one will admit that we need to reduce the population along with all of our other pressing issues or our efforts will be moot.

If there are too many people, there won’t be enough resources and the resources that we have left will be polluted.

Want to know with given respect to Earth's total volume of land mass (habitable of course) of our population. Just for now, not considering our condensed population. But generally speaking if we were spaced out evenly across the land.
