The dataset is available to download in Geotiff format at a resolution of 3 arc (approximately 100m at the equator). The units are number of people per pixel with country totals adjusted to match the corresponding official United Nations population estimates that have been prepared by the Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat (2019 Revision of World Population Prospects).The mapping approach is the Random Forests-based dasymetric redistribution developed by Stevens et al. (2015).
