Year source population data?

Dear all,

I was wondering what year the population data is from?
I need to source it and need to know how reliable the population data is.

Hopefully someone can help me, thanks in advance!

As far as I can figure out it comes from OSM itself.
See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:population

Hi @nsonderen and @OleGaarde,

sorry for the late reply.

We are using GHSL data, see Data - openrouteservice documentation.
The data set is from 2019, while the data itself is from 2015.

Best regards

Thank you @amandus !

Thx for clearing that up @amandus

Does ORS have a plan to update the Global Human Settlement data now that the data provider has added a new epoch in 2022? See this webpage: Global Human Settlement - BUILT-S_GLOBE_R2022A - European Commission cc: @amandus

Hi @stevevance,
Thank you for the info. We will definitely do that!
We have to check when we can fit that into our always busy schedule :man_factory_worker:
