title: Synthetic population for URY

description: <strong>Synthetic populations for regions of the World (SPW) | Uruguay</strong><strong>Dataset information</strong>A synthetic population of a region as provided here, captures the people of the region with selected demographic attributes, their organization into households, their assigned activities for a day, the locations where the activities take place and thus where interactions among population members happen (e.g., spread of epidemics). <strong>License</strong>CC-BY-4.0 <strong>Acknowledgment</strong>This project was supported by the National Science Foundation under the NSF RAPID: COVID-19 Response Support: Building Synthetic Multi-scale Networks (PI: Madhav Marathe, Co-PIs: Henning Mortveit, Srinivasan Venkatramanan; Fund Number: OAC-2027541). <strong>Contact information</strong>Henning.Mortveit@virginia.edu <strong>Identifiers</strong> Region name Uruguay Region ID ury Model coarse Version 0_9_0 <strong>Statistics</strong> Name Value Population 3208260.0 Average age 36.3 Households 1161045.0 Average household size 2.8 Residence locations 1161045.0 Activity locations 65127.0 Average number of activities 6.1 Average travel distance 18.9 <strong>Sources</strong> Description Name Version Url Activity template data World Bank 2021 https://data.worldbank.org Administrative boundaries ADCW 7.6 https://www.adci.com/adc-worldmap Curated POIs based on OSM SLIPO/OSM POIs http://slipo.eu/?p=1551 https://www.openstreetmap.org/ Household data IPUMS https://international.ipums.org/international Population count with demographic attributes GPW v4.11 https://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/data/set/gpw-v4-admin-unit-center-points-population-estimates-rev11 <strong>Files description</strong><strong>Base data files (ury_data_v_0_9.zip)</strong> Filename Description <code>ury_person_v_0_9.csv</code> Data for each person including attributes such as age, gender, and household ID. <code>ury_household_v_0_9.csv</code> Data at household level. <code>ury_residence_locations_v_0_9.csv</code> Data about residence locations <code>ury_activity_locations_v_0_9.csv</code> Data about activity locations, including what activity types are supported at these locations <code>ury_activity_location_assignment_v_0_9.csv</code> For each person and for each of their activities, this file specifies the location where the activity takes place <strong>Derived data files</strong> Filename Description <code>ury_contact_matrix_v_0_9.csv</code> A POLYMOD-type contact matrix constructed from a network representation of the location assignment data and a within-location contact model. <strong>Validation and measures files</strong> Filename Description <code>ury_household_grouping_validation_v_0_9.pdf</code> Validation plots for household construction <code>ury_activity_durations_{adult,child}_v_0_9.pdf</code> Comparison of time spent on generated activities with survey data <code>ury_activity_patterns_{adult,child}_v_0_9.pdf</code> Comparison of generated activity patterns by the time of day with survey data <code>ury_location_construction_0_9.pdf</code> Validation plots for location construction <code>ury_location_assignement_0_9.pdf</code> Validation plots for location assignment, including travel distribution plots <code>ury_ury_ver_0_9_0_avg_travel_distance.pdf</code> Choropleth map visualizing average travel distance <code>ury_ury_ver_0_9_0_travel_distr_combined.pdf</code> Travel distance distribution <code>ury_ury_ver_0_9_0_num_activity_loc.pdf</code> Choropleth map visualizing number of activity locations <code>ury_ury_ver_0_9_0_avg_age.pdf</code> Choropleth map visualizing average age <code>ury_ury_ver_0_9_0_pop_density_per_sqkm.pdf</code> Choropleth map visualizing population density <code>ury_ury_ver_0_9_0_pop_size.pdf</code> Choropleth map visualizing population size
