Title
Bottom-up gridded population estimates for , version 2.1 [Nigeria]
Description
This data release provides gridded population estimates (spatial resolution of 3 arc-seconds, approximately 100 m grid cells) with national coverage for Nigeria, along with estimates of the number of people belonging to various age-sex groups. Version 2.1 is an update to the previous version 2.0 gridded population estimates and is based on a correction of the settlement map. These model-based population estimates most likely represent the time period around 2019, corresponding to the period when the satellite imagery was processed to generate building footprints. Populations are mapped only into areas where residential settlements are predicted. These data were produced by the WorldPop Research Group at the University of Southampton. This work was part of the GRID3 Bridge Funding project with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (INV-045694). Project partners included the GRID3 Inc and the Center for International Earth Science Information Network in the Earth Institute at Columbia University. Statistical modelling was originally led by Chris Jochem and Doug Leasure with additional support and oversight from Attila Lazar and Andy Tatem. Ortis Yankey led the population map update with additional support from Edith Darin. The authors followed rigorous procedures designed to ensure that the used data, the applied method and thus the results are appropriate and of reasonable quality.
