Speaking more generally,
Populatation is growing fast in Africa and many african countries dont have the
resources to organize regular census. See the UN Statistics Division record of
last census by country
https://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic/sources/census/censusdates.htm
This means that quality vary from one country to the other and that often we
lack good info about distribution of population in the various countries. The
OSM building mapping projects are often used for population estimates.

Same in rural Senegal. Low-resolution population data I guess.
Can you point to a specific place please?
What would be the population dataset that you would recommend for
Senegal?_______________________________________________
