Abstract
These data consist of modelled gridded population estimates produced at a spatial resolution of approximately 100m across the Haut-Katanga, Haut-Lomami, Ituri, Kasaï, Kasaï-Oriental, Lomami and Sud-Kivu provinces in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The estimates comprise total population counts and relative breakdowns in 40 age and sex groups. The main input data were derived from a dedicated microcensus carried out in the targeted provinces throughout March and April 2021. The microcensus was led by the Flowminder Foundation, the École de Santé Publique de Kinshasa, the WorldPop Research Group at the University of Southampton and the Bureau Central du Recensement, which is part of the Institut National de la Statistique of the DRC. Other essential input data were originated from building footprints automatically delineated by Ecopia.AI in 2021 using satellite imagery collected by Maxar Technologies between 2010 and 2021.
