The files density-*.u8.gz are derived from its 2025 epoch on the 30 arcsecond WGS84 grid: the people of each cell are summed, divided by the area of the cell on the WGS84 ellipsoid and coded on a logarithmic scale. The same people, summed into 0.05 degree cells, also set the share of the regional languages in units.json and the share of each unit in the cells of blends-*.json; along the boundaries taken from Natural Earth at 1:10m, the people of each 30 arcsecond cell divide a 0.05 degree cell between the units on either side.
