# Demographics Data

Facebook publishes detailed population data with demographic information under its initiative [FACEBOOK Data for Good](https://dataforgood.fb.com/tools/population-density-maps/). It is one of the most granular data sets about the worldwide population using official census and Facebook data combined with image recognition.

The raw data is aggregated in 30x30 m squares which we transform to H3 bins at resolution 11.\
 For each bin there is the statistical population value for:

* Total
* Female
* Male
* Children under 5
* Youth 15 - 24
* Elderly 60 plus
* Women of reproductive age 15 - 49

## Setup

Install node modules

```

Load population data into database
