Short summary
Census data are typically provided in irregularly shaped spatial units. To get a more refined estimate of population density, we downscaled population counts from United States (US) census blocks to a 30 m grid using intelligent dasymetric mapping. Furthermore, we improved our density estimates by using multiple spatial datasets to identify and mask uninhabited areas. Masking these uninhabited areas improved density estimates for every state in the conterminous US.
