SPAS — Sub-national Population by Age & Sex

👉 Full project overview at github.com/SPAS-Demographic

This repository holds the SPAS organization's shared assets and profile README. It is not the home of the data or code — head to the organization page for that.

What SPAS does

We compile, harmonize, and publish sub-national population data by age and sex worldwide, integrating data from multiple international demographic programs with geographic boundary files to enable spatially explicit analysis of population composition at fine spatial scales.

Where to find the data

• 📦 AgeSex-Pop — main data collection (GeoPackage).
• 📘 SPAS_Polygon_to_Raster_Primer — primer on working with SPAS polygon data and converting it to raster format in R.
