Project Abstract The Gridded Population of the World, Version 4 (GPWv4): Population Count Adjusted to Match 2015 Revision of UN WPP Country Totals, Revision 11 consists of estimates of human population (number of persons per pixel) consistent with national censuses and population registers with respect to relative spatial distribution, but adjusted to match the 2015 Revision of the United Nation’s World Population Prospects (UN WPP) country totals for the years 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020. A proportional allocation gridding algorithm, utilizing approximately 13.5 million national and sub-national administrative units, was used to assign population counts to 30 arc-second grid cells. The data files were produced as global rasters at 30 arc-second (~1 km at the equator) resolution. To enable faster global processing, and in support of research communities, the 30 arc-second adjusted count data were aggregated to 2.5 arc-minute, 15 arc-minute, 30 arc-minute and 1 degree resolutions.

Abstract

A subset of the CIESIN Gridded Population V4. This dataset contains the 2020 estimated global population grid, adjusted to UN WPP 2015 country totals, at 30 arc-second resolution.

The original source data contains estimates for 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2020.
Study Extent Global, 30 arc-second resolution. 2020.
