Enables direct comparison of different population data sets based on different data sources and methodologies. The tool incorporates a four-panel display of six different data sets: the Gridded Population of the World (GPWv4.10) 2015 count developed by SEDAC; Landscan 2015 developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory; WorldPop Estimates 2014 from the WorldPop project; Global Human Settlement Population Grid 2015 (GHS-POP) developed by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre and CIESIN; the Esri World Population Estimate 2016 (WPE); and the High Resolution Settlement Layer (HRSL) developed by the Facebook Connectivity Lab and CIESIN. A single-panel mode provides metadata and enables side-by-side comparison of population estimates. Developed under the auspices of the POPGRID Data Collaborative.
