Abstract
We propose a vector alternative to the typical raster based population modeling framework. When compared with rasters, vectors are more precise, have the ability to hold more information, and are more conducive to areal constructs such as building and parcel outlines. While rasters have traditionally provided computational efficiency, much of this efficiency is reduced at finer resolutions and computational resources are more plentiful today. Herein we describe the approach and implementation methodology. We also describe the output data stack for the United States and provide examples and applications.
