📊 Ace Prototype Feasibility - Data Sources

Geographic Data

Data Source Description
Administrative Boundaries HDX - OCHA Regions (Admin 1), Districts (Admin 2), Communes (Admin 3)
Population Density Kontur Population H3 hexagon-based population estimates
Settlement Classification GHSL SMOD Urban/Rural settlement model (raster - not browser-compatible)
Built-Up Areas GHSL BUILT Built-up surface fraction (raster - not browser-compatible)
Population Grid WorldPop 100m resolution population raster (not browser-compatible)

Classification Methodology

Location classification follows the DEGURBA standard (UN Statistical Commission, March 2020). GHSL SMOD is our primary data source as it already incorporates cluster analysis.

Our Term DEGURBA Term Density Threshold
Urban Urban Centre ≥1,500 people/km², cluster ≥50,000
Peri-Urban Towns & Semi-dense Areas (Urban Cluster) ≥300 people/km², cluster ≥5,000
Rural Rural Grid Cells <300 people/km²

Data priority: 1) GHSL SMOD (primary) → 2) Kontur density (fallback) → 3) WorldPop (last resort). See METHODOLOGY.md for full documentation.
