Population 1km Grid

Following population 2011, each household and dwelling in the country was linked to spatial coordinates with population data aggregated into 1 km2 grid cells.The advantages of grids are that they offer independence from existing administrative boundaries (which can facilitate cross-border analysis) and provide a better representation of the spatial distribution of the population.
