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: Digital file produced by the National Statistical Office obtained through the UN Statistics Division's Software Development Project Republique du Maroc (1972), Recensement General de la Population, Rabat. Census figures and estimates for 1982 to 1990 were available from 1. Data for 1971 from 2. Where units were split, the population 1971 population was distributed using proportions for 1982. Sidi Bernoussi-Zenata (geog code 5 in Centre) seems to be the same unit as Mohammedia-Znata. No data for Al Fida/Derb Sul -> aggregated with Casablanca. For those admin units located in Western Sahara, no data were available for 1971. Instead the total UN estimate for Western Sahara for that year was split to those four units Boujdour, Es Semara, Laayoune Oued Ed Dahab with proportions orresponding to 1982 figures.
