PopulationDensityAfrica: Geospatial Dataset of Population Density Patches

The PopulationDensityAfrica dataset organizes high-resolution population counts into a simple, per-country folder structure. Each country directory contains one or more CSV files—typically named by region or grid tile—that list individual “patches” with their centroid latitude and longitude, an alphanumeric patch ID, and the estimated population in that cell. All values are derived from Meta’s Data for Good population density rasters, reprojected and aggregated into vector patches for easy joining with other geospatial layers. We also include our model inference results and model weights.
