The Global Human Settlement Layer: Population and Built-Up Estimates, and Degree of Urbanization Settlement Model Grid data set provides gridded data on human population (GHS-POP), built-up area (GHS-BUILT), and degree of urbanization (GHS-SMOD) across four time periods: 1975, 1990, 2000, and 2014 (BUILT) or 2015 (POP, SMOD). GHS-BUILT describes the percent built-up area for each 30 arc-second grid cell (approximately 1 km at the equator) based on Landsat imagery from each of the four time periods. GHS-POP consists of census data from the 2010 round of global census from Gridded Population of the World, Version 4, Revision 10 (GPWv4.10) spatially-allocated within census Units based on the percent built-up areas from GHS-BUILT. GHS-SMOD uses GHS-BUILT and GHS-POP in order to develop a standardized classification of degree of urbanization grid. The original data from the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (JRC-EC) has been combined into a single data package in GeoTIFF format and reprojected from Mollweide Equal Area into WGS84 at 9 arc-second and 30 arc-second horizontal resolutions in order to support integration with a variety of global raster data sets.

Spatial data supporting the England Woodland Creation Offer (EWCO) ‘Close to settlements’ Additional Contribution. This contribution is available where woodland creation will provide social and environmental benefits by being close to people. This Additional Contribution will be awarded on the following basis: 1. Spatial targeting: Proposed woodland meeting the design requirements touches the ‘EWCO - NfC Social’ layer, 2. Species mix and 3. Stocking density. The land under this dataset meets at least one of the following criteria: Be within the 40% most deprived areas in England that are also within 4km of built-up areas with a population of 10,000 or more. OR Be within 1km of built-up areas with a population of 2,000 or more. Data input sources: Measure of ‘deprived’ = Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) 2019 joined to Lower Layer Super Output Areas (LSOAs) census geographies - 2011. Built up area = Office for National Statistics (ONS) Built-up Areas (BUAs) census geographies - December 2011. Population = ONS Key statistics - Usual resident population - KS101EW - Census 2011.
