Since 2011, East View has offered the LandScan™ Global Population Database developed by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). In October 2021, ORNL announced that future versions of LandScan would be available as an open access dataset. Since that time, East View has continued to make the data available to subscribers via its WebApp. With the recent release of LandScan Global 2021 version on August 14, 2023, East View has decided to no longer update and maintain the East View LandScan WebApp.
