Dataset details: Somalia 100m Population
______________________________________________

DATASET: Version 2.0 estimates for numbers of people per pixel (ppp) and people per hectare (pph), for 2010, 2015 and 2020, with national totals adjusted to match UN population division estimates (http://esa.un.org/wpp/), and remaining unadjusted. Note, an additional dataset is included for the census year, on which 2010, 2015 and 2020 estimates are based.
