Census-based gridded population estimates for Burkina Faso (2019), version 1.0

Gridded population estimates (~100m) for Burkina Faso. This geotiff raster contains estimates of total population size for each approximately 100 m grid cell across the study area.

Bottom-up gridded population estimates (~100m) for specific age-sex groups. This zip file contains geotiff rasters with estimates of population sizes for individual age-sex groups for each approximately 100 m grid cell across the study area.

Mastergrid for gridded population estimates. This geotiff raster contains the mastergrid used to define where population estimates were made. It contains a value of 1 where population estimates were made and a value of 0 or NA everywhere else. Cell IDs from the mastergrid can be used to lookup values in the SQL database.

Description of the methods used to produce the BFA v1.0 gridded population estimates. This pdf contains a technical report describing methods used to produce these gridded population estimates.

BFA Population v1.0 (English + French). This README file provides information about the data included in the data release, how it was produced, source data that were used, and known assumptions and limitations of the results.

SQL database with Bayesian posterior population predictions. This SQLite database contains samples from the Bayesian posterior predictions of population size in each grid cell. The database can be used to develop applications that query the population estimates.

Supplementary files including data to reproduce the method. This zip file contains supplementary files including the data needed to reproduce the method.

Image tiles for gridded population estimates. These image tiles (XYZ format) allow for rapid display of the 100 m gridded population estimates across the study area in web applications.
