The question posed by a commercial provider of integrated geospatial solutions for business applications was this: Will the calculated combination of georeferenced census datasets with satellite-gathered raster data increase the decision-making value of the census data? The answer was a resounding "yes," facilitating the generation of micro-level information from macro-level population data.
The study focused on the city of Delhi in India. Much like in the United States, India's full federal census is conducted once every 10 years. Completed in 2001, the Indian census is also free to the public and contains information such as number of households, gender, workers (as a ...
