AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
The Gridded Population of the World Version 4.11 (GPWv411) datasets provide various population estimates and related characteristics globally.
-
These datasets model the distribution of human population for the years 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020 based on national censuses and population registers.
-
Data is available as 30 arc-second grid cells and includes population counts, densities, age/sex demographics, land area, and water masks.
-
Population estimates are provided as raw data and adjusted to the 2015 Revision of UN World Population Prospects country totals.
-
GPWv411 datasets are developed by CIESIN with support from NASA.
