The Population Sources Dashboard is designed to compare and analyze population data for Afghanistan from various sources. The goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of the country’s population, identify disparities and inconsistencies in the data, and gain insights into the factors that contribute to these differences.

...

The Description tab provides an overview of the data used for the dashboard, including external links to the datasets Datasets that are used.

Population data overview

The Population Data Overviewdata overview tab consists of three data visualizationsVisualizations:

1. Total Population Chartpopulation chart: bar chart showing the total population from each population source.

   1. Hover over a bar to view the total population count for the population source.

2. Population Correlation Matrix correlation matrix at Admin 1: correlation matrix showing the relationship between the various population sources, with 1 demonstrating the highest correlation.

   1. Hover over a cell to view the color-coded value representing the correlation between the two population sources.

3. Population at Admin 1 Level Chartlevel chart: bar chart showing the population count for geographic units Geographic Units at the admin Admin 1 level from each population source.

   1. Hover over a bar to view the population count for the given admin Admin 1 unit Unit and population source.

   2. Click on a legend item to exclude it from the chart.

Population data comparison

The Population Data Comparisondata comparison tab contains four data visualizations Visualizations that allow for a side-by-side visual comparison of two population sources at the admin Admin 1 level, as well as the percent change between two population sources at the admin 1 level.

The visualizations are populated based on your selections from Use the two dropdowns for population sources, as shown outlined in red in the screenshot below, to populate the Visualizations.

This tab includes the following visualizationsVisualizations:

1. Selection 1 Population Count Estimate Choropleth Mappopulation count estimate choropleth map: choropleth map showing the population count estimate by admin Admin 1 unit Unit for the first population source you have selected.

   1. Hover over an admin Admin 1 unit Unit to view its name and population count.

2. Selection 2 Population Count Estimate Choropleth Mappopulation count estimate choropleth map: choropleth map showing the population count estimate by admin Admin 1 unit Unit for the second population source you have selected .

   1. Hover over an admin Admin 1 unit Unit to view its name and population count.

3. Percent Change Selection change selection 1 to Selection selection 2 Chartchart: bar chart showing the percent change in population data from your first selection to your second selection, broken down by admin Admin 1 unitsUnits.

   1. Hover over a bar to view the percent change for a given admin Admin 1 unitUnit.

4. Percent Change change from Selection selection 1 to Selection selection 2 Choropleth Mapchoropleth map: choropleth map showing the percent change in population data from your first selection to your second selection, broken down by admin Admin 1 unitsUnits.

   1. Hover over an admin Admin 1 unit Unit to view its name and percent change.

Population data regression

The Population Data Regressiondata regression tab features regression charts that compare a baseline population source against other population sources in the dashboard. You can select a baseline using the dropdown menu.

...

The Population Demographic tab contains four data visualizations Visualizations comparing the NSIA 2022 and Flowminder 2021 datasets. Based on Use the dropdown selection, the visualizations are populated outlined in red in the screenshot below, to populate the Visualizations with either male or female demographic data.

This tab includes the following visualizationsVisualizations:

1. Total Population: bar chart showing the total male or female population count by population source.

   1. Hover over a bar to view to population count for the source.

2. Population Count at Admin 1: bar chart showing the breakdown of the total male or female population count by admin Admin 1 unitUnit.

   1. Hover over a bar to view the population count for an admin Admin 1 unit Unit by population source.

   2. Click on a legend item to exclude it from the chart.

3. Percent Change from NSIA 2022 to Flowminder 2021 at Admin 1: bar chart showing the percent change from NSIA 2022 to Flowminder 2021, broken down by admin Admin 1 unitUnit.

   1. Hover over a bar to view the percentage change for an admin Admin 1 unitUnit.

4. NSIA 2022 to Flowminder 2021 Population Data Regression Chart: regression chart showing the predictability of difference between NSIA 2022 and Flowminder 2021.

   1. Hover over a point to view the admin Admin 1 population count from both population sources.

• Data availability: as population data from Flowminder is only available at the admin level 1, this dashboard does not provide comparisons for population data at lower administrative levels.

• Total Population Percentage Change: two tables provide a comparison of the total population percentage change:

  • Table 1: Total total population percentage change from NSIA 2022.

  • Table 2: Total total population percentage change from Flowminder 2022.

• Population Correlation Matrix at Admin 1: two tables specify the correlation coefficients:

  • Table 3: Correlation correlation between NSIA 2022 and other population datasets.

  • Table 4: Correlation correlation between Flowminder 2022 and other population datasets.
