Rural population density (persons per square kilometre), 2000 (FGGD)

The FGGD rural population density map is a global raster datalayer with a resolution of 5 arc-minutes. Each pixel classified as rural by the urban area boundaries map contains the number of persons per square kilometre, aggregated from the 30 arc-second datalayer. All remaining pixels contain no data. The method used by FAO to generate this datalayer is described in FAO, 2005, Mapping global urban and rural population distributions, by M. Salvatore, et. al.
