Abstract

This dataset contains population census data from 2009 for Kyrgyzstan. It has total population dissagregated by gender and urban/rural area at country level and first and second administrative levels. It includes the number of households for these administrative areas and the average household sizes.

The data was received through UNFPA from the National Statistical Committee of the Kyrgyz Republic.

Each row in this dataset represents subnational administrative unit observations. Data was last updated on HDX on 2025-11-13. Geographic scope: KGZ.

Curated into ML-ready Parquet format by Electric Sheep Africa.

Curation

Raw data was downloaded from HDX via the CKAN API and converted to Parquet. Column names were lowercased and standardised to snake_case. Common missing-value markers (N/A, null, none, -, unknown, no data, #N/A) were unified to NaN. 6 column(s) were cast from string to numeric or datetime based on parse-success rate (>85% threshold). The dataset was split 80/20 into train and test partitions using a fixed random seed (42) and saved as Snappy-compressed Parquet.

Limitations

• Data originates from OCHA ROCCA (inactive) and has not been independently validated by ESA.
• Automated cleaning cannot correct for misreported values, definitional inconsistencies, or sampling bias in the original collection.
• The following columns have >20% missing values and should be treated with caution in modelling: pcode.
• Refer to the original HDX dataset page for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.
