Column height and colour show people per km² by unit, in quantile fifths among the units shown (the key on the map gives the breaks); units with no people on the grid are grey, not the lowest class; the raster beneath is the GHSL 2025 population grid. Source observations, not index values. Choose a humanitarian figure from the list to colour and raise the units by it; each figure shows its source on the unit page. Select a unit to drill into the units inside it; the path above the map climbs back.
