Metadata

Relation:
Parent data set:  Corine Land Cover 2000 raster data
Temporal coverage:
Last upload:

Scale of the data set:
1:100000
Rights:
European Commission - DG JRC, Ispra, 2007
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.

Additional information

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.
