You can filter the available data series using one or more of the following criteria:

  • PeriodStart date and End date:Filters data series by the collection/reporting period.

  • Start date: Returns all data series starting on or before this date.

  • End date: Returns all data series ending on or after this date

    period dates of all data points within the series. All data series with at least one data point that has a period date inside the date range will be displayed.

  • Data Series status: Filters data series by active or inactive status. Inactive Data Series have been marked by a data manager as no longer receiving new data. This may be because a change in the way the data is being collected (such as a new source or change in units) warranted starting a new Data Series, or because the data is no longer being collected.

  • Geographic: Filters by location of the population data. This filter aggregates items into a multi-level lists (e.g., admin 1 units are aggregated into countries, which are aggregated into regions). Selecting the higher-level item in the list will automatically select all the lower-level items in the list.
    Note: The International category in this filter contains countries not currently monitored by FEWS NET.

  • Indicator: Filers by a metric of interest and allows for meaningful comparisons over time. The indicator options for the Population domain include options such as Number of households and Population estimate.

Searching and/or applying filters creates a savable dataset. For more information on creating and saving datasets, see Create and Save Datasets.

2. Data Selection

Once you have applied your search terms and filters, you will be presented with a list of all available data series that match your criteria. A data series is a collection of related data points from a single data source that are viewable as a single row within a table of data. They represent the change over time of a specific indicator. Data series are presented in table format where each row represents a single data series.

...

  • Country: The name of the country where the population data was reported.

  • Locality: The geographic unit where the population data was reported. This may be an administrative unit, livelihood zone, border point, market, or other geographic unit. If the geographic unit is a market, the locality will specify urban or rural. If the geographic unit set version has an associated date, that will also be appended to the locality.

  • Indicator: Metric of interest that allows for meaningful comparisons over time. The indicator options for the Population domain include options such as Number of households and Population estimate.

  • First: Period date for the first collection/reporting period in the data series.

  • Last: Period date for the last collection/reporting period in the data series.

  • Count: The number of data points in the data series.

  • Info: Hover over the information icon in a row to see more details including the data series ID, data source document, and data usage policy.

The Population domain currently includes a Table visualization. The About tab contains descriptions and definitions of the metadata included in the table and export data

Note

If you have selected dates in the filter section, this table will only contain data points with an associated period date within the specified date range. Data points within the selected data series with a period date outside of the specified date range will not be displayed.

Customize

Customization options within the Population domain allows for aggregation or conversion of the data. The available parameters are:
