Open-source system for estimating population using infrastructure signals such as telecom activity, electricity consumption, housing footprints, mobility data, and internet usage.
OSPI is a data-driven framework that estimates population distribution and trends using publicly available infrastructure and digital activity signals instead of relying solely on traditional census data.
It combines multiple independent data sources into a unified probabilistic model to produce population estimates with confidence scoring and regional comparisons.
- Mobile telecom density (SIM / device activity)
- Electricity consumption patterns
- Satellite-based housing and building footprint analysis
- Traffic and mobility activity signals
- Internet activity and digital presence metrics
To provide an open, transparent, and reproducible population estimation system that complements official census data and enables analysis of demographic and urban trends in near real-time.
