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.
