Read methods behind spatial population estimates.
What it is
Read methods behind spatial population estimates. The Methods page explains settlement mapping from satellite imagery and statistical population estimation.
Why it is selected
Gridded population is modeled rather than a household census; the methods clarify that distinction.
Who it suits and when to use it
Useful for GIS, public health, and demography; check year and resolution before selecting data.
Usage note
The methods were read; grids were not downloaded and model accuracy was not independently tested.
