Gridded Population Estimates for Ukraine using UN COD-PS Estimates 2020 (version 1.0)

This README file provides information about the data included in the data release, how it was produced, source data that were used.

This geotiff raster, at a spatial resolution of 3 arc-seconds (approximately 100m at the equator), contains estimates of total population size per grid cell across Ukraine using Subnational Population Statistics 2020 for Ukraine provided by Common Operational Dataset on Population Statistics (COD-PS). NA values represent areas that were mapped as unsettled based on settlement layer ORNL LandScan HD for Ukraine. These data are stored as floating-point numbers rather than integers to avoid rounding errors in aggregated populations for larger areas. For further details, please, read a Release Statement.

This zip file contains 34 raster files in geotiff format at a spatial resolution of 3 arc-seconds (approximately 100m at the equator). Each raster provides gridded population estimates for an age-sex group of settled areas (NA represent unsettled areas). Files are labelled with either an “M” (male) or an “F” (female) followed by the age-range of the group (five year bins). For instance, “F_00_04” and “M_05_09” are population counts of under 5 year olds for females and between 5 and 9 years old for males, respectively. Eighty year olds and over are represented in the groups “F_80Plus” and “M_80Plus”. These data were produced using age-sex national proportions from COD-PS. The age-sex proportions were applied to the gridded population estimates (ukr_pop_2020_100m_constrained_v1_0) to allocate the population to the different age-sex classes. While this data represents population counts, values contain decimals, i.e. fractions of 3 people. This is because we do not estimate which grid cell each individual in a given age group occupies. For this reason, it is advised to aggregate the rasters at a coarser scale. For example, if four grid cells next to each other have values of 0.25 this indicates that there is 1 person of that age group somewhere in those four grid cells.

This geotiff raster, at a spatial resolution of 30 arc-seconds (approximately 1km at the equator), contains estimates of total population size per grid cell across Ukraine. NA values represent areas that were mapped as water. The dataset was produced by aggregating kr_pop_2020_100m_unconstrained_v1_0.tif dataset to 1km. For further details, please, read a Release Statement.

This zip file contains 3 rasters in geotiff format at a spatial resolution of 30 arc-seconds (approximately 1km at the equator). Each raster provides gridded population estimates for children-age (0 to 18 years old) across Ukraine (NA represent surface waters). Files are labelled with either an “M” (male) or an “F” (female) or “F_M” for both male and female. These data were created by applying the Sprague multipliers to “ukr_agesex_2020_1km_constrained “ raster data. The Sprague multiplier is used to interpolate five-year binned data and obtain population estimates by single years that areand then aggregated to 0 to 18 years of age.
