California Human Density Dataset
Entry ID:
CA_ICE_HumanDensity
Summary
Abstract:
This dataset contains human population density for the state of California and
a small portion of western Nevada for the year 2000. The population density is based on US Census Bureau data and has a cell size of 990 meters. The purpose of the dataset is to provide a consistent statewide human density GIS layer for display, analysis and modeling purposes. The state of California, and a very small portion of western Nevada, was divided into pixels with a cell size 0.98 km2, or 990 meters on each side. For each pixel, the US Census Bureau data was clipped, the total human population was calculated, and that population was divided by the area to get human density (people/km2) for each pixel.
