๐Ÿš€ New Development in Population Mapping!

No more confusing 2.3 people per grid cell โ€” the new integerisation method from WorldPop turns fractional data into whole numbers without losing accuracy.

โœ… Accurate totals & demographic consistency
โœ… Easier-to-read, more realistic population maps
โœ… Improved planning for health, emergencies, and infrastructure
โœ… Available now via an open-source R package: IntPopGrids

Disaster Ninja is more than disaster tracking!

How reliable is the Kontur Population dataset? We've created a report cross-checking Wiki, OSM, and Kontur data to help you trust the numbers.

๐Ÿ” Curious about OSM population estimates? Check it out:
๐Ÿ‘‰ disaster.ninja โš ๏ธ Reports -> Population tag check: (disaster.ninja/active/reports/)

๐Ÿ’ก Mappers, you can fix issues in JOSM right away! Trust your data with Disaster Ninja.

#DisasterNinja #DataTrust #PopulationData #OSM #MappingCommunity

Dizaster Ninja Report on population data comparing sources from Wiki, OpenStreetMap (OSM), and Kontur data. The image features tables with numerical values and graphs illustrating differences in population estimates across regions. It also includes recommendations for improving data accuracy in OSM and options for mappers to correct information in JOSM.
