Estimates of total number of people per grid square broken down by gender and age groupings (including 0-1 and by 5-year up to 80+) in 2020 for Hungary.
The dataset is available to download in Geotiff format at a resolution of 3 arc (approximately 100m at the equator) . The projection is Geographic Coordinate System, WGS84. The units are estimated number of male/female in each age group per grid square. "NoData" values represent areas that were mapped as unsettled based on the outputs of the Built-Settlement Growth Model (BSGM) developed by Nieves, J. J et al. 2019 and 2020
The mapping approach is Pezzulo, C. et al. Sub-national mapping of population pyramids and dependency ratios in Africa and Asia. Sci. Data 4:170089 doi:10.1038/sdata.2017.89 (2017)
