Methodology:
Each pixel value is the estimated density of inhab/km2. Note however that a pixel is 100 m x 100 m, ie 1 hectare. The pixel value should hence be divided by 100 in order not to overestimate the population density. The data is in integer values.

Owners:
The window has been enlarged to include Cyprus and the Canary Islands, that were previously out of the window. Thresholds have been reduced for maximum densities in non-urban classes and increased in urban classes.
