Population Distribution Analysis and Visualization

Analysis and visualization of the Global Population Surfaces from Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) dataset.

Residential Population Distribution in Africa

Residential Population Distribution in Nigeria

Requirements

Create a (virtual) python environment and install the libraries/dependencies, preferably using conda:

  conda install --file requirements.txt -c conda-forge -y

Step 1: Download and process the population data using the Python script. Then export it.

Step 2: Open the population raster layer in QGIS and apply the ready-made style. You may need to adjust the values in the style/symbology if you are using it for a different study area.
