ENACT-POP R2020A - ENACT 2011 Population Grid

This spatial raster dataset depicts the distribution/density of population, expressed as the number of people per cell, during night-time and daytime for each month of 2011. The grids are produced by estimating the regional and monthly stocks of population sub-groups and disaggregating the population stocks to grid level using a detailed maps of land uses, location of socioeconomic activities and built-up. The results are cross-compared against independent sources. These tasks involve the assembly and combination of statistical and geo-data from multiple sources, both conventional (e.g. official statistics, information derived from remote sensing) and non-conventional (e.g. volunteered geographic information, data from web services, proprietary thematic datasets, mobile phone data).
