Iran Population Distribution Gridded Estimates from 2015 to 2030

WorldPop provides gridded population estimates for Iran from 2015 to 2030. The data is available as a 3 arc-second (approximately 100m) resolution GeoTIFF using a Random Forest-based dasymetric redistribution method. This is the 2025 Alpha release version constructed in September 2025.

Use Cases

• Modeling population exposure to environmental hazards based on gridded population density.
• Planning infrastructure and service allocation based on spatial population distribution.
• Calibrating or validating other demographic datasets based on the Random Forest redistribution method.
• Analyzing population change trends from 2015 to 2030 based on the temporal coverage.

Strengths

• Data uses a high spatial resolution of 3 arc-seconds (approximately 100m at the equator).
• Estimates cover a 15-year time range from 2015 to 2030.
• Population mapping employs a Random Forest-based dasymetric redistribution approach.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is labeled as a 2025 Alpha release version, which may indicate preliminary status.
