FB created highly detailed population maps to help health organizations, researchers & universities to handle disease outbreaks & plan public health campaigns. They focus on population density with demographic estimates, how people move & network coverage. The population maps give estimates on the no of people living in 30-m grid tiles, including demographic densities for pre-school aged children & women at reproductive age.
