Rural Land Area
Rural Land Area data was reported at 1,187,981.381 sq km in 2015. This records a decrease from the previous number of 1,188,503.155 sq km for 2000. Rural Land Area data is updated yearly, averaging 1,188,503.155 sq km from Dec 1990 (Median) to 2015, with 3 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 1,188,683.107 sq km in 1990 and a record low of 1,187,981.381 sq km in 2015. Rural Land Area data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Niger – Table NE.World Bank.WDI: Environmental: Land Use, Protected Areas and National Wealth. Rural land area in square kilometers, derived from urban extent grids which distinguish urban and rural areas based on a combination of population counts (persons), settlement points, and the presence of Nighttime Lights. Areas are defined as urban where contiguous lighted cells from the Nighttime Lights or approximated urban extents based on buffered settlement points for which the total population is greater than 5,000 persons.;Low Elevation Coastal Zone (LECZ) Urban-Rural Population and Land Area Estimates, Version 2, Center For International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) - Columbia University, uri: https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/data/catalog/sedac-ciesin-sedac-lecz-urplaev2-2.00, publisher: NASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC), date published: 2013;Sum;
