Exciting news!

population

• if you are not using the columns

  key

  ,

  key_alpha_2

  , and

  key_numeric

  of the dataset (see here), nothing changes for you.
• if you are using some of the columns above (e.g., FIPS codes for US), please use the new column

  key_local

  . This contains the main identifier used by the local authorities (usually the national institute of statistics) regardless of its type (e.g., numeric, 2 character code, other). For a short period of time (starting 14 October 2021), both the previous keys and the new

  key_local

  are made available to help the transition.
• if you are accessing the columns by position (not recommended!) you may experience shifts in the column index.
• for any question, please open an issue
