GHS Population Grid |
| Note |
The GHS-POP spatial raster dataset depicts the distribution of population, expressed as the number of people per cell.
Residential population estimates between 1975 and 2020 in 5-year intervals and projections to 2025 and 2030 derived from CIESIN GPWv4.10 were disaggregated from census or administrative units to grid cells, informed by the distribution and density of built-up as mapped in the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) global layer per corresponding epoch. |
