Measure of the effective resolution of administrative units in kilometers; calculated as the square root of the land area divided by the number of administrative units.
Level of administrative united used for GPW gridding; the administrative unit levels are categorized as follows: 0=country, 1=state/province, 2=county (or equivalent), 3= sub-county units (e.g., census units such as tracts or subdivisions), 4=local statistical area, and 5=sub-locations. Note that some data have lower levels available (e.g., India) but they were not always used.
Total number of administrative units at the level used: sum of the unique administrative units (not unique polygons, units may be split across polygons) at the level used for gridding GPW v3.
First year of population figures used to adjust data to 1990 and 1995 estimates. Where only one year of population estimates was obtained, that date is given in RefYearLast and this field is left empty.
Latest year of population figures used to adjust data to 1990 and 1995 estimates. Where only one year of population figures exists, it is referenced here and UN figures were used to adjust the data to 1990 and 1995.
Population estimate for 1990 based on figures produced by national statistical agency (or similar institutions): the sum of administrative unit population estimates for each country, after interpolation or extrapolation to 1990 (if necessary). All figures are rounded and expressed per thousand.

The definition of urban for a country as given by the United Nation's World Urbanization Prospects, 2001 Revision.
The number of spatial areas that are defined as urban, e.g. 1000+ persons.
The size of the largest urban spatial area by sq. km.The size of the smallest urban spatial area by sq. km.The mean size of the urban spatial areas by sq.km.
The sum of all of the urban spatial areas by sq.km.
The largest urban spatial area by populationThe smallest urban spatial area by populationThe mean size of the urban spatial areas by population
The sum of the population of all urban spatial areas.
Percetange of a country's total land area that is taken up by urban spatial extents.

Number of urban extents that came from the Nighttime Lights source data.
Number of urban extents that came from the regressions performed by CIESIN.
Number of urban extents that came from the Digital Chart of the World source data.
Population estimate for 1995 based on figures produced by national statistical agency (or similar institutions): the sum of administrative unit population estimates for each country, after interpolation or extrapolation to 1995 (if necessary). All figures are rounded and expressed per thousand.
Population estimate for 2000 based on figures produced by national statistical agency (or similar institutions): the sum of administrative unit population estimates for each country, after interpolation or extrapolation to 2000 (if necessary). All figures are rounded and expressed per thousand.
United Nations national level population estimate for 1990 in thousands of persons. All figures are rounded and expressed per thousand.
United Nations national level population estimate for 1995 in thousands of persons. All figures are rounded and expressed per thousand.

United Nations national level population estimate for 2010 in thousands of persons. All figures are rounded and expressed per thousand.
United Nations national level population estimate for 2015 in thousands of persons. All figures are rounded and expressed per thousand.
Percent difference between country estimate from source data and the UN estimate for 1990. This percentage is calculated based on the difference between P90E and UN_P90; it was used to adjust the administrative unit population counts from each data provider so that they summed to the same total as the UN estimate for producing the UN adjusted population grids.
Percent difference between country estimate from source data and the UN estimate for 1995. This percentage is calculated based on the difference between P95E and UN_P95; it was used to adjust the administrative unit population counts from each data provider so that they summed to the same total as the UN estimate for producing the UN adjusted population grids.
Percent difference between country estimate from source data and the UN estimate for 2000. This percentage is calculated based on the difference between P00E and UN_P00; it was used to adjust the administrative unit population counts from each data provider so that they summed to the same total as the UN estimate for producing the UN adjusted population grids.
