LandScan
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The LandScan data set is a worldwide population database compiled on a 30" X 30" latitude/longitude grid.
Description
Census counts (at sub-national level) were apportioned to each grid cell based on likelihood coefficients, which are based on proximity to roads, slope, land cover, nighttime lights, and other data sets. LandScan has been developed as part of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Global Population Project for estimating ambient populations at risk.
The LandScan files are available via the internet in ESRI grid format by continent and for the world. You can access the data files after user registration through the data links. For an overview of the methods used to develop LandScan, please read the documentation and FAQs.
