Albania Risk Assessment Indicators: District-Level Flood and Demographic Data

HeiGIT provides risk assessment indicators for Albania aggregated at the administrative level 2 (districts) to support flood hazard analysis. The dataset integrates demographic, infrastructure, and accessibility data derived from OpenStreetMap, WorldPop, and Google Earth Engine as of March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing healthcare accessibility by calculating the percentage of the population within 30 minutes of a hospital using access_pop_hospitals_30min
• Identifying vulnerable populations for disaster response by aggregating children_u5 and elderly counts per district
• Evaluating educational infrastructure density using education_count and access_pop_education_5km

Strengths

• Aggregated at admin level 2 (districts) for direct policy application
• Includes multi-source integration from WorldPop, OSM, and Google Earth Engine
• Provides specific travel-time accessibility metrics via openrouteservice

Limitations

• Facility counts are dependent on OpenStreetMap contributor density which may vary by region
• Specific row counts and file sizes are not provided in the metadata
