originator
Constrained estimate of the total number of people per grid cell for Lao PDR in 2026, at approximately 100 m (3 arc-second) resolution, from the WorldPop Global Demographic Data project's R2025A v1 release covering 2015-2030. Values are produced using a Random Forest-based dasymetric redistribution approach. This is an alpha-version (R2025A) product and may change as further improvements are made.
To provide a population baseline for demographic exposure and village-level planning inputs under the GeoCLEAR project.
