title: Synthetic population for USA_ALABAMA

description: <strong>Synthetic populations for regions of the World (SPW) | Alabama</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 Alabama Region ID usa_140002904 Model coarse Version 0_9_0 <strong>Statistics</strong> Name Value Population 4768478 Average age 37.8 Households 1933164 Average household size 2.5 Residence locations 1933164 Activity locations 398709 Average number of activities 5.7 Average travel distance 65.0 <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 (usa_140002904_data_v_0_9.zip)</strong> Filename Description <code>usa_140002904_person_v_0_9.csv</code> Data for each person including attributes such as age, gender, and household ID. <code>usa_140002904_household_v_0_9.csv</code> Data at household level. <code>usa_140002904_residence_locations_v_0_9.csv</code> Data about residence locations <code>usa_140002904_activity_locations_v_0_9.csv</code> Data about activity locations, including what activity types are supported at these locations <code>usa_140002904_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>usa_140002904_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>usa_140002904_household_grouping_validation_v_0_9.pdf</code> Validation plots for household construction <code>usa_140002904_activity_durations_{adult,child}_v_0_9.pdf</code> Comparison of time spent on generated activities with survey data <code>usa_140002904_activity_patterns_{adult,child}_v_0_9.pdf</code> Comparison of generated activity patterns by the time of day with survey data <code>usa_140002904_location_construction_0_9.pdf</code> Validation plots for location construction <code>usa_140002904_location_assignement_0_9.pdf</code> Validation plots for location assignment, including travel distribution plots <code>usa_140002904_usa_140002904_ver_0_9_0_avg_travel_distance.pdf</code> Choropleth map visualizing average travel distance <code>usa_140002904_usa_140002904_ver_0_9_0_travel_distr_combined.pdf</code> Travel distance distribution <code>usa_140002904_usa_140002904_ver_0_9_0_num_activity_loc.pdf</code> Choropleth map visualizing number of activity locations <code>usa_140002904_usa_140002904_ver_0_9_0_avg_age.pdf</code> Choropleth map visualizing average age <code>usa_140002904_usa_140002904_ver_0_9_0_pop_density_per_sqkm.pdf</code> Choropleth map visualizing population density <code>usa_140002904_usa_140002904_ver_0_9_0_pop_size.pdf</code> Choropleth map visualizing population size
