  • The FGGD high resolution rural settlements population density map is a global raster datalayer with a resolution of 30 arc-seconds. Each pixel classified as rural by the urban area boundaries map but having a population density value of 2000 or above, contains the number of persons per square kilometre. All remaining pixels contain no data. The method used by FAO to generate this datalayer is described in FAO, 2006, Mapping global urban and rural population distributions, by M. Salvatore, et. al.

Each pixel classified as rural by the urban area boundaries map but having a population density value of 2000 or above, contains a numeric count of persons in the land area represented by the pixel. All remaining pixels contain a negative value. The method used by FAO to generate this datalayer is described in FAO, 2006, Mapping global urban and rural population distributions, by M.
