@Dues Ex Machete we have satellite technology to calculate. If your interested in clan settlement Mx settle less than half of what Ogaden settle in JL alone without recording Bakool Sare. Gedo is an accessory to JL and was only added by Prof. Gaandhi out of “Daroodism” historically Gedo would be apart of KG.
There is no reason why Gedo would be any more dense either considering it is mostly pastoralist aswell so spare us that route.

A western census wouldnt likely include clan and even if it did there wouldnt be a consensus on it regardless like you said. If its pure numbers of population per district the UNFPA 2014 census is more than enough for Somali officials to work with if they wanted to.
People have no respect for clan territory down south. They will claim each others hometowns as their own out of opportunism. The clan lines definetly exist people just dont respect it.
UNFPA never provided it's methodology that's the problem, if u don't provide a methodology, it cannot be seen what they did in their numbering count. My methodology is using Garissa as template since it has been censused, so don't say I am not providing one. If Garissa is 45,000 SQ KM for 1 million and Majerteniya is 150,000 SQ KM. It would be fair to say I demand 3.5 times the population of Garissa since I am 3.5 times it's size.
I also would say it's only fair if your smaller then garissa you work out how much smaller by size. Plus how did they measure density is another question, I can simply work out 100 by 100 meter area on my own which is only 5 properties to extropolate data from over a total city area sq. I doubt their is 6 people per household in each and every household in a city, so their needs to be 'variation average' to account for the differences so it's more realistic. Hamar in my calculation isn't larger then 2 million and isn't smaller then 1 million. It's safe to say it's 1.5 million. That's not including the camps tho as that reports to South west and no-one is allowed to include camps into their 'estimates' since it reports to another constituency.
PL was severely under-counted in UNFPA without any methodology provided except the UNFPA endorsed it, that doesn't mean the methodology is right. Plus we know how many dams we have, nigga other areas haven't even reached the 'dam' stage kkkk showing u their nomadic population is overly inflated, their still down to wells/barkads. JL is no more then 2 million in my opinion and probably around 1.7 million. PL however is 3.5 million for Majerteniya and Makhir/Khatumo is another 1.5 million for their 70,000 sq km land. Remember I am not making these numbers up, I am pointing to garissa goof and showing u their population as a baseline to work of.
It would be far more accurate if we simply listed every village in somalia and it's area sq and density levels at 'small sample' rate that is provable like 5 houses in 100 by 100 meter 'square' this method must be used in all estimations no matter where to extropolate a density rate, the rest is simple and pure calculations against the area sq of the total land mass.
Besides the settled population is larger then the nomadic population but not by much if you look at economic data. Somalia GDP is 7 billion, nigga 40-60% depending on who u read say is purely 'nomadic people' and their livestocks. That means anywhere from 40-60% is only settled and that is the consumption 'market'.
So if $7 billion is 40% nomadic that means they contribute $2.8 billion to the GDP thru their exports yearly, while the rest is imports into consumption urban markets cuz their futos are not producing anything but merely consuming thru remittance and welfare. So that mens 40% of Somalia total population will need to be reserved out for the nomadic population as a bare minimum which is 6 million and the rest is settled at 8 million into villages/town.
Trust me the 'war' is over this 'segment' and this requires u horta have 'large goof' for pasture or else the possibility to have livestock is limited due to land constraints, plus u need lots of water infrastructure and if that's lacking it's safe to assume your livestock is lacking also and as a result your nomadic population. But that segment of 6 million how much goes to PL wud be very large considering our 150,000 SQ KM goof in comparison to 'other areas goof' like 86,000 SQ KM for ISAAQ, 70,000 SQ KM for Makhir/Khatumo, 79,000 sq km for GM as a whole including sade/wacaysle/murusade. This is where it stops since nomadism isn't practised below the river well not at high rate anyways. Then it's down to gedo and lower jubba and it's pastoral population. Majerten has the largest reer miyi population is without a shadow of doubt within somalia proper just based on land size being able to sustain a large livestock population and hence large nomadic population will be natural side effect
