Data sources

This database was initially produced for the UNEP/GRID-WRI-NCGIA Africa Population Database.

See the GRID-Sioux Falls web site at http://grid2.cr.usgs.gov

The 1980 and 1990 estimates produced for this database were used to produce the P95E estimate.

Pop data sources:

  1. United Nations (1971), Demographic Yearbook 1971, Department for Economic and Social Information and Policy Analysis, New York
  2. Groupe de Demographie Africaine (1986), Population size in African countries, IDP-INEP-INSEE-MICOOP-ORSTOM, Paris
  3. Republique du Burundi (1990), Recensement General de la Population et de 'Habitation, Resultats Provisoires, Bureau Central de Recensement, Gitega
  4. Republique du Burundi (1990), Annuaire Statistique du Burundi 1988, Institut de Statistique et d'Etudes, Gitega
  5. Republique du Burundi (1992), Annuaire Statistique du Burundi 1991, Institut de Statistique et d'Etudes, Gitega

Commune level data available only for 1990 census.

Province totals for 1979 (15 provinces) and 1965 (8 provinces). Bujumbura (city) population treated separately based on population figures for 1965, 70, 79, 86 and 90.

P80 calculated based on province growth rates for 79-90 period. P60 based on province growth rates for 65-79 period. Earlier estimates are therefore only fairly accurate for province level, while for commune level, homogeneous growth rates were assumed.
