The data were produced by WorldPop at the University of Southampton. These data include gridded population estimates, at approximately 100m resolution, for 40 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (Appendix A). These results were created using official population estimates at the finest-available resolution provided by National Statistic Offices (NSOs) throughout the region, and built-up area, height and volume covariates produced from World Settlement Footprint 3D (WSF3D) datasets1. We acknowledge the contribution of WorldPop’s partners, notably the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Latin America and Caribbean Regional Office in supporting the collection of population and administrative boundary data, and to the German Aerospace Center (DLR) for preparing and providing built settlement data from the WSF3D framework. Modelling work and geospatial data processing was carried out by McKeen T., Bondarenko M., Kerr D. and Sorichetta A. Esch T., Marconcini M., Zeidler J. and Palacios-Lopez D. prepared and provided the WSF3D datasets. Juran S. and Valle C. aided with population and administrative boundary data collection.
