View In: ArcGIS JavaScript ArcGIS.com WMTS

Current Version: 10.81

Service Description:

This raster dataset represents 2020 population density from the Gridded Population of the World, Version 4 (GPWv4) dataset, sourced from the Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN). The data has been clipped to the Northeast USA and normalized to a 0-100 scale to facilitate comparison between population distribution and recreational use of forests. This raster helps identify spatial outliers, where forest recreation is high in areas with low population density, offering insights for land management and conservation planning.

Data Source:
GPWv4 Population Density, 2020 Revision 11
Clipped to the Northeast (ME, NH, VT, NY, MA, CT, RI, PA, NJ)

Use Case:
Used to compare forest recreation hotspots with population density, revealing areas where recreation is disproportionate to local population, assisting in identifying outliers for focused study or management efforts.
