Information on dasymetric datasets.

Dasymetric population database	Description
GRIDDED POPULATION OF THE WORLD (GPW) V4	GPW models the distribution of human population counts and densities, via census data, on a continuous global raster surface (11).
GLOBAL RURAL URBAN MAPPING PROJECT (GRUMP)	GRUMP builds upon GPW as well as uses observed light data to identify urban areas (12).
GLOBAL HUMAN SETTLEMENT LAYER - POPULATION (GHS-POP)	GHS-POP depicts the distribution of population, expressed as the number of people per cell (13).
WORLD POPULATION ESTIMATE (WPE)	WPE combines information from datasets on global land cover, roads, as well as census data to calculate residential populations (14).
HIGH RESOLUTION SETTLEMENT LAYER (HRSL)	HRSL produces estimates of population distribution via census data and high-resolution satellite imagery (15).
LANDSCAN	LANDSCAN models average population locations over a 24 h period (16).
WORLDPOP	WorldPop produces a dasymetric population using Artificial Intelligence stratified by gender and age (17).
