Figure 1. 1 km dasymetric population density map: EU strategy 1
Figure 2. 1 km population density based on LAU2 regions

Four different modelling strategies were applied to estimate population, reflecting different aggregations of the original land cover classes. Strategy 1 was the most detailed, with strategy 4 being the most simplified.

All the modelling strategies performed relatively well at both national and EU level, with R2 between modelled and actual population at NUTS 5 (~ LAU-2) level generally between 0.8 and 0.9, and SEE in the range of 2–5000 people. Differences between strategies were slight, with overall performance decreasing slightly as the models were simplified. To minimise the effect of step changes at country borders, the EU models were preferred for European mapping.

A map for the EU strategy 1 model (R2 of 0.82; SEE of 4518 people) in Figure 1 is contrasted with a population density map based on the NUTS 5 census data (Figure 2). The weights for the EU strategy 1 model are given in Table 1 below.
