New national population data from the 2021 Census – in a 125m × 125m grid

In the Resource Catalog of the Geostatistics Portal, we have made available new national population data in a 125m × 125m grid based on data obtained from the 2021 National Population and Housing Census (NSP 2021).

The layer is also available as resource no. 32596 titled: “NSP 2021 National population data in grid (125m; 250m; 500m; 1km) / 2021 census data. Population in grid (125m; 250m; 500m; 1km)” in the Resource Manager. Data on the total population in a grid with a 125m side length have been published for regional capital cities (due to performance and usability of the presentation).

The data can be downloaded from the Geostatistics Portal. To do this:

  • log in to the Resource Manager as an external user,
  • after logging in, in the filtering bar under the “Resource availability” filter, click “x” to remove the restriction to your own resources (“My”),
  • then in the search field enter the name “NSP2021_TOT_grid125m_miasta” or a specific resource number – in this case it is 32680,
  • in the resource preview, click the “Export” button and select the data format (available formats: geojson, shp, csv, kml).

We encourage you to review the information on the national population and more, which we previously published when releasing these data in a 1 km grid, a 500m × 500m grid, and a 250m × 250m grid at the following links:
