Saint Kitts and Nevis Population Grid Projections 2015-2030

100-meter resolution gridded population estimates for Saint Kitts and Nevis, created using a Random Forest-based dasymetric redistribution method. The dataset provides annual estimates of the total number of people per pixel from 2015 to 2030 in GeoTIFF format. WorldPop produced this 2025 Alpha release version in September 2025.

Use Cases

• Model population density changes from 2015 to 2030 using the annual gridded estimates for infrastructure planning.
• Apply the Random Forest-based dasymetric redistribution methodology to validate or compare with other population mapping techniques.
• Analyze spatial population distribution patterns at a 100-meter resolution for environmental risk assessments.
• Integrate the WGS84-projected GeoTIFF data with other geographic layers for multi-criteria analysis.

Strengths

• Data provides a 15-year temporal coverage from 2015 to 2030 for longitudinal analysis.
• High spatial resolution of approximately 100 meters at the equator for detailed mapping.
• Utilizes a sophisticated Random Forest-based dasymetric redistribution mapping approach.
• Data is georeferenced in the standard WGS84 Geographic Coordinate System for interoperability.

Limitations

• Dataset is an Alpha release version from September 2025, indicating it is a preliminary product that may be revised.
• Estimates are modeled projections, not direct census counts, and contain inherent uncertainty.
• The 100-meter resolution, while fine, may not capture very localized population clusters.
