Service Description: Gridded Population of the World, Version 4 (GPWv4) Basic Demographic Characteristics, Revision 11 consists of estimates of human population by age and sex, consistent with national censuses and population registers, for the year 2010. To estimate the male and female populations by age in 2010, the proportions of males and females in each 5-year age group from ages 0-4 to ages 85+ for the given census year was calculated. These proportions were then applied to the 2010 estimates of the total population to obtain 2010 estimates of male and female populations by age. The files for this data set were produced as global grids at 30 arc-seconds horizontal resolution (approximately 1km at the equator). To enable faster global processing, and in support of research communities, the 30 arc-second data were aggregated to 2.5 arc-minutes, 15 arc-minutes, 30 arc-minutes and 1 degree resolutions.
