WorldPop produces different types of gridded population count datasets, depending on the methods used and end application. An overview of the data and methods can be found in Tatem et al, a description of the modelling methods used found in Stevens et al, and access to modelling code here.
Datasets are available to download in Geotiff and ASCII XYZ format at a resolution of 3 and 30 arc-seconds (approximately 100m and 1km at the equator, respectively).
Individual countries 2000-2020: Consistent 100m resolution population count datasets created using "top-down" methods for all countries of the World for each year 2000-2020.
Individual countries 2000-2020 UN adjusted: Adjusted to match official United Nations population estimates (UN 2019).
Global mosaics 2000-2020: Mosaiced 1km resolution versions of the "Individual countries 2000-2020" datasets.
Bespoke methods for individual countries (WOPR): Bespoke 100m resolution gridded population estimates using customized methods ("bottom-up" and/or "top-down") developed for the latest data available from each country.
Older datasets produced for specific individual countries and continents, using a set of tailored geospatial inputs and differing "top-down" methods and time periods are still available for download here: Individual countries and Whole Continent
