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.
02Levels

Every administrative level of Bahrain

Each level comes from the boundary source admitted for that country and level, with its own licence.
