WorldPop 100 meter population grids for the United States and India, with city total populations and spatial Gini coefficients

100 meter resolution population grids from WorldPop for the United States and India. Also includes total populations and spatial gini coefficients (across pixels) for each city in each country, as calculated and described in Akbar et al. (2023).
