## Abstract

This dataset comes from the Kenya Census Volume 1 Question 1 Population, Households and Density by Sublocations - 2009

Each row in this dataset represents subnational administrative unit observations. Data was last updated on HDX on 2023-03-03. Geographic scope: **KEN**.

*Curated into ML-ready Parquet format by [Electric Sheep Africa](https://huggingface.co/electricsheepafrica).*

## Curation

Raw data was downloaded from HDX via the CKAN API and converted to Parquet. Column names were lowercased and standardised to snake_case. Common missing-value markers (`N/A`, `null`, `none`, `-`, `unknown`, `no data`, `#N/A`) were unified to `NaN`. The dataset was split 80/20 into train and test partitions using a fixed random seed (42) and saved as Snappy-compressed Parquet.

---

## Limitations

- Data originates from Kenya Open Data Initiative (inactive) and has not been independently validated by ESA.
- Automated cleaning cannot correct for misreported values, definitional inconsistencies, or sampling bias in the original collection.
- Refer to the [original HDX dataset page](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/kenya-population-households-and-density-by-sublocations-2009) for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.

## 摘要
本数据集源自2009年肯尼亚人口普查第一卷第一题：次区域人口、家庭与密度。数据集中每一行代表一个次国家级行政单元的观测数据。该数据最后一次在HDX平台更新于2023-03-03。地理覆盖范围：**KEN（肯尼亚）**。*本数据集已由[Electric Sheep Africa](https://huggingface.co/electricsheepafrica)整理为适用于机器学习的Parquet格式。*

## 数据整理流程
原始数据通过CKAN API从HDX平台下载，并转换为Parquet格式。对列名进行小写转换，并统一为蛇形命名法（snake_case）。将常见的缺失值标记（`N/A`、`null`、`none`、`-`、`unknown`、`no data`、`#N/A`）统一替换为`NaN`。本数据集采用固定随机种子（42）按80/20的比例划分为训练集与测试集，并以Snappy压缩格式的Parquet文件存储。

---

## 局限性
- 本数据源自已停用的肯尼亚开放数据倡议，未经过Electric Sheep Africa的独立验证。
- 自动化清洗流程无法修正原始数据收集中的错报值、定义不一致或抽样偏差问题。
- 请查阅[原始HDX数据集页面](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/kenya-population-households-and-density-by-sublocations-2009)获取发布方提供的方法论说明与相关注意事项。
