Code for PopGrid Compare v1
This repo contains the code to stack and spatially align four global gridded population datasets for ease of comparable analysis. All four datasets provide population counts for 2020 at 1km x 1km spatial resolution. The input datasets are Gridded Population of the World, version 4, Landscan, Worldpop Unconstrained, and Global Human Settlement Layer.
For further information on gridded population data and their application, visit the POPGRID Data Collaborative.
