Spatial Data from the 2011 India Census

The Spatial Data from the 2011 India Census contains gridded estimates of India population at a resolution of 1 kilometer along with two spatial renderings of urban areas, one based on the official tabulations of population and settlement type (statutory town, outgrowth, census town), and the second, remotely-sensed measures of built-up land derived from the Global Human Settlement Layer. This data set includes a constructed hybrid representation of the urban settlement continuum by cross-classifying the census and remotely-sensed data.

2011年印度人口普查空间数据集（Spatial Data from the 2011 India Census）包含分辨率为1千米的印度人口网格化估算结果，同时附带两类城市区域空间可视化成果：其一基于官方人口与聚居地类型统计数据，涵盖法定城镇（statutory town）、外延聚居区（outgrowth）、普查城镇（census town）三类；其二源自全球人居图层（Global Human Settlement Layer）提取的遥感建成区用地测度数据。本数据集通过对普查数据与遥感数据进行交叉分类，构建了城市聚居连续体的混合表征形式。
