Population mapping

What is Population Mapping ?

 

Population mapping deals with the production of maps and graphs that show the distribution and the characteristics of populations in specific areas. Population mapping can be used in a variety of contexts, including:

1. Urban planning: Understanding population distribution helps to design infrastructure, transport systems, and residential areas to meet the needs of the population. 

2. Public Health: Identifying the distribution of specific health conditions or vulnerable populations can help plan health services and interventions.

3. Social sciences: Researchers use population mapping to study social and economic inequalities, migration patterns, and the impact of policies on different communities. 

 

Our Services: Your Key to Population Understanding

    

At Model&Map, our population mapping services include the use of various tools and methods to provide the best estimates of population distribution and associated characteristics within your geographical area. 

1. Granular mapping: Census data, collected by government agencies, is an important source for population mapping. It provides detailed information about the population in specific regions, enabling accurate mapping and analysis. By disaggregating census data at a local level, we furnish population density estimates with a level of granularity surpassing traditional administrative units. This detailed information is crucial for evaluating the impact of events such as natural disasters.

2. Population characteristics: Our population maps include various demographic characteristics, such as age, gender, ethnicity, income, education level, and more. This information helps to understand the composition and diversity of a population in different areas.  

3. Temporal analysis: We analyse changes in population distribution over time, offering key insights into population trends and predicting future patterns.
