At the risk of asking a silly question, where can I get the gpw_v4_population_density_rev11_2020_15_min.tif file? I've tried searching Github, as well as the general internet, for it, but I can only find a handful of results, all of which lead back to this gist or a few others. Thanks in advance!

Not so obvious, but a link pointing in the right direction is in my comment above [here].(https://gist.github.com/tylermorganwall/3ee1c6e2a5dff19aca7836c05cbbf9ac?permalink_comment_id=4156882#gistcomment-4156882)

If you follow that through to a download page, and select using hints in the file name, that should get you there.
