Kontur population density

Kontur population density data provides global population grids that help Aino estimate how many people live within an area or catchment. This is useful for demand analysis, exposure studies and comparing locations across different markets.

The hexagon-based structure makes it easier to work with consistent spatial units across countries and cities.

Common data categories

Population density, settlement intensity and demographic exposure.

Attribute table

Typical fields include hexagon geometry, population estimate, density value, source year and spatial identifier.

Source reference

Kontur’s Population Dataset combines official censuses, administrative records and commercial sources to provide population counts and demographic characteristics at multiple geographic levels. The population is aggregated into grids of different scales, with a base scale of 400m H3 hexagons.

The attribute table contains the number of people in each grid cell.

What a population density cell contains

Population density data divides the world into comparable grid cells. Each cell gives an estimate of how many people live there, making catchments easier to compare across cities and countries.

Data shape: hexagon polygons with a population estimate, density value, source year and spatial identifier.
