Uganda Population Grid Estimates 2015-2030 at 100m Resolution

2015-2030 population estimates for Uganda, providing the total number of people per 3 arc-second grid cell (approximately 100m at the equator). The data is available in GeoTIFF format, with units representing the number of people per pixel. This 2025 Alpha release version was constructed in September 2025 using a Random Forest-based dasymetric redistribution mapping approach.

Use Cases

• Model population density changes from 2015 to 2030 using the time-series grid-cell estimates.
• Integrate population per pixel data with other geospatial layers for environmental or health impact assessments.
• Validate and calibrate other demographic models with WorldPop's Random Forest-based dasymetric redistribution outputs.
• Analyze spatial distribution patterns for infrastructure planning using the 100m resolution grid.

Strengths

• High spatial resolution of approximately 100 meters at the equator (3 arc-seconds).
• Provides a 15-year time-series projection from 2015 to 2030.
• Uses a sophisticated Random Forest-based dasymetric redistribution mapping approach.
• Data is georeferenced in the standard WGS84 Geographic Coordinate System.

Limitations

• Data is an Alpha release version from September 2025, indicating it is preliminary and may be revised.
• The total number of grid cells (rows) and specific columnar attributes are not documented in the input.
• The dataset's size and specific file structure details are unknown.
