Methodology

2019 and 2020 population estimates were obtained from the “drc_zs_population_2019_2020” spreadsheet available in the “RDC - Statistiques des populations par zones de santé” HDX dataset.

Most administrative level 2 (district) features contain one or more complete zones de santé (health zones), thus enabling summation of the contained zone de santé populations. For instance, the 2019 population for ‘Matadi’ (CD2001) is summed from the populations of zone de santé Matadi (zone de santé code CD2001ZS01) and Nzanza (CD2001ZS02).

However, the following 25 small urban level 2 features are contained in larger level 2 features that are not distinctly represented by a zones de santé. The “cod_admpop_adm2” tab of the population spreadsheet indicates zero populations for those features and the table below identifies the level 2 feature that includes the missing population. (Three level 2 features include the missing population from two features each.)

This situation has no impact on the administrative level 1 (province) tables as every zone de santé lies completely in a level 1 feature.

Caveats / Comments

  1. All age and sex disaggregations are based on estimated ratios at the administrative level 1 (province level). The sum of these ratios varies from 100% to a maximum of 1.16%

  2. Totals along administrative feature rows may differ due to rounding and the ratio errors mentioned above. The maximum difference is 0.12%
