Degree of Urbanisation (DEGURBA) - Kenya National Bureau of Statistics

DEGURBA methodology:

• Captures the urban-rural continuum in a harmonised manner;
• Uses the same population size and density thresholds across the globe;
• Starts from a population grid to reduce the bias generated by the different shapes and sizes of spatial units;
• Measures population clusters directly; Defines areas to monitor access to services, not areas defined by access to services; and,
• Proposes a cost-effective approach.-
