Dataset

Statement

The Degree of Urbanisation consists of 3 categories: 1) Cities (Densely populated areas: at least 50 % of the population lives in urban centres) 2) Towns and suburbs (Intermediate density areas: less than 50 % of the population lives in rural grid cells and less than 50 % of the population lives in urban centres), 3) Rural areas (Thinly populated areas: more than 50 % of the population lives in rural grid cells). Densely and Intermediate populated areas are generated from the population grid to create High Density and Urban clusters. Source information: The boundaries of the degree of urbanisation areas are derived from the LAU2 2018 boundaries from the European Commission - Eurostat/GISCO, based on data from EuroGeographics and the Eurostat 2011 Population grid.
