Spatial Distribution of Population in Andalusia

The 250mx250m population grid prepared by the Institute of Statistics and Cartography of Andalusia. Junta de Andalucía, allows to have detailed and updated information on the distribution of the population in Andalusia, outside the administrative divisions. It is a regular grid of cells of 250m x 250m to which, through georeferencing, the population has been assigned based on the location of the postal address where each of the inhabitants resides registered on January 1, 2018 in the Longitudinal Population Database of Andalusia. As long as statistical secrecy is not compromised, in addition to the total population, each cell offers sociodemographic information allowing us to know the resident population according to large age groups, nationality, sex, place of birth, time of residence, state of affiliation, receipt of contributory pension from the Social Security and jobseekers of the Andalusian Employment Service.
