Gridded Population of the World, Version 4 (GPWv4): Population Density
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.7927/h4np22dq
The Gridded Population of the World, Version 4 (GPWv4): Population Density consists of estimates of human population density based on counts consistent with national censuses and population registers, for the years 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020.
Description
A proportional allocation gridding algorithm, utilizing approximately 12.5 million national and sub-national administrative units, is used to assign population values to 30 arc-second (~1 km) grid cells.
The population density grids are derived by dividing the population count grids by the land area grids. The pixel values represent persons per square kilometer.
