Population estimation beyond counts—Inferring demographic characteristics

Abstract: Mapping population distribution at a fine spatial scale is essential for urban studies and planning. Numerous studies, mainly supported by geospatial and statistical methods, have focused primarily on predicting population counts. However, estimating their socio-economic characteristics beyond population counts, such as average age, income, and gender ratio, remains unattended. We enhance traditional population estimation by predicting not only the number of residents in an area, but also their demographic cha… Show more

“…Dasymetric mapping that is a non-uniform spatial cartography has a long history as a technique for re ning the spatial representation of population by excluding unpopulated areas from the map. It has been however so far restricted to total population count, sometimes broken down by age and sex (7,8,31), or in data-rich context, to map transient population (32) or race (33). To our knowledge however, no population dasymetric mapping research has focused on the refugee's subgroup in particular and none has been using register data.…”

“…Information on nearby amenities (POIs) and the surroundings are also important in this context, as they are often associated with buildings, e.g. as indicators of housing value, demographics, and accessibility (Feng & Humphreys 2012;Kang et al 2021;Yang et al 2021;Mirkatouli et al 2018;Szarka & Biljecki 2022;Su et al 2021).…”
