Service Description: The Gridded Population of the World (GPW) series, now in its fourth version (GPWv4), models the global distribution (counts and densities) of the human population on a continuous surface. Since the release of the first version of this global population grid in 1995, the essential inputs have been population census tables and boundaries as these provide complete geographic coverage of a country’s population at a given point in time. The GPW data collection therefore provides openly-available gridded population data that maintains fidelity to the input census data. GPWv4 is gridded with an output resolution of 30 arc-seconds (approximately 1 km at the equator). For GPWv4, population input data are collected at the highest resolution available from the results of the 2010 round of censuses, which occurred between 2005 and 2014. The population input data are then extrapolated to 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020. Grids are available for population counts, population density, UN-adjusted population counts, UN-adjusted population density, land area, water area and data quality indicators. Additionally, a data set of the central point locations (centroids) for each of the input units is included in the collection.
