wopr: An R package to query the WorldPop Open Population Repository

WorldPop Research Group
University of Southampton

10 June 2021

wopr is an R package that provides API access to the WorldPop Open Population Repository. This gives users the ability to:

  1. Download WorldPop population data sets directly from the R console,
  2. Submit spatial queries (points or polygons) to the WorldPop server to retrieve population estimates within user-defined geographic areas,
  3. Get estimates of population sizes for specific demographic groups (i.e. age and sex), and
  4. Get probabilistic estimates of uncertainty for all population estimates.
  5. Run the woprVision web application locally from the R console.

Code for the wopr package is openly available on GitHub: https://github.com/wpgp/wopr
