These measures are derived on a country-level basis from a combination of census and survey data using small area estimates techniques. The collection of data have been compiled, integrated and standardized from the original data providers into a unified spatially referenced and globally consistent data set. The data products include shapefiles (vector data), tabular data sets (csv format), and centroids (csv file with latitude and longitude of a geographic unit and associated poverty estimates). Additionally, a data catalog (xls format) containing detailed information and documentation is provided. This data set is produced by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) in collaboration with a number of external data providers. Purpose: To provide high spatial resolution subnational estimates of poverty and inequality for use by a wide user community for interdisciplinary studies of poverty, inequality and the environment. Supplemental_Information: This is the first version of the Small Area Estimates of Poverty and Inequality data set.
