UPDATE 15 May 2025: WorldPop are aware of some inconsistencies with their 2015-2030 data for some countries (e.g. BIH, CZE, EGY, TCD, PAK, NPL, CYP, PER) and are working to resolve these.
WorldPop works to ensure that every person is mapped and counted in decision making. WorldPop is an applied research and implementation group based at the University of Southampton and develops open, academically peer-reviewed methods for mapping populations at high spatial resolution across the globe. Since 2013, they have partnered with governments, UN agencies and donors to construct more than 45,000 demographic datasets, complementing traditional population sources with dynamic, high-resolution data from satellites and cellphones for mapping human population distributions.
