DescriptionBandsImage PropertiesTerms of UseCitationsDOIs

This dataset contains population estimates, by age and sex, per 30 arc-second grid cell consistent with national censuses and population registers. There is one image for each modeled age and sex category based on the 2010 round of Census.

General Documentation

The Gridded Population of World Version 4 (GPWv4), Revision 11 models the distribution of global human population for the years 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020 on 30 arc-second (approximately 1 km) grid cells. Population is distributed to cells using proportional allocation of population from census and administrative units. Population input data are collected at the most detailed spatial resolution available from the results of the 2010 round of censuses, which occurred between 2005 and 2014. The input data are extrapolated to produce population estimates for each modeled year.
