In developing countries, areas with low levels of detected radiance generally indicate limited development – with unlit areas typically being disregarded. Here we combine satellite nighttime lights and the world settlement footprint for the year 2015 to show that 19% of the total settlement footprint of the planet had no detectable artificial radiance associated with it. The majority of unlit settlement footprints are found in Africa (39%), rising to 65% if we consider only rural settlement areas, along with numerous countries in the Middle East and Asia. Significant areas of unlit settlements are also located in some developed countries. For 49 countries spread across Africa, Asia and the Americas we are able to predict and map the wealth class obtained from ~2,400,000 geo-located households based upon the percent of unlit settlements, with an overall accuracy of 87%. 2022-05-05 Nature Publishing Group 10.1038/s41467-022-30099-9 202 172 1460 222 276 59 211 181 3301 98 public Nature Communications 13 e2459 TRUE 2041-1723 The European network for observing our changing planet (ERA-PLANET, H2020 689443) Geo-Wiki yes info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/689443/EU//ERA-PLANET info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
