## Population Data

Population estimates are sourced from the **WorldPop 2026 100-metre population grid** (worldpop.org). WorldPop produces modelled population estimates derived from census microdata, satellite imagery, and dasymetric redistribution. The 100 m resolution places population at the sub-block level, enabling precise trade area delineation.
Population estimates are sourced from **Kontur Population**, an H3-native population dataset delivered as per-country files at H3 resolution-8 — a finer grid than the resolution-7 hexagons the platform aggregates catchments to. Unlike a raster-based product, Kontur's population values are already bound to hexagon geometry at ingestion, so no raster-to-hexagon reprojection step is required.

### Processing pipeline

1. **Spatial filter:** Only grid cells within 150 km of at least one co-location cluster centroid are retained, reducing data volume by approximately 80% while preserving all cells relevant to catchment computation.
1. **Per-country ingestion:** Each country's resolution-8 population file is read directly; only cells with a positive population value are retained.

2. **H3 aggregation:** Retained cells are assigned to their containing H3 resolution-7 hexagon and population values are summed. H3 resolution-7 cells have an average area of 5.16 km².
2. **H3 rollup:** Each resolution-8 cell is resolved to its resolution-7 parent hexagon, and population values are summed across all resolution-8 children sharing a parent. H3 resolution-7 cells have an average area of 5.16 km².

3. **Output:** Population is aggregated to one record per H3 cell, giving each cell's coordinates, population, and country.
3. **Output:** Population is aggregated to one record per resolution-7 cell, giving each cell's coordinates, summed population, and the set of countries contributing to it.

### Countries covered

United States, Canada, Mexico, Great Britain, Germany, France, Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Greece, Denmark, Iceland, and Poland — 13 countries as of the current pipeline version. This is the set with published per-capita spend multipliers. It is a subset of the platform's broader co-location footprint, which spans 24 countries as of the most recent full processing run (2026-08-06). See [[co-location-intelligence-overview]] for full country coverage.
