Azerbaijan Risk Assessment: District-Level Flood and Demographic Data

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

Use Cases

• Mapping flood vulnerability by correlating AZE_ADM2_flood_exposure with the elderly population count
• Identifying healthcare gaps using access_pop_primary_healthcare_30min to find districts with low medical reach
• Assessing disaster coping capacity by analyzing the education_count and hospitals_count per district

Strengths

• Aggregated at admin level 2 for localized district analysis
• Includes specific travel-time accessibility metrics (30/60/120 min) for healthcare
• Integrates multi-source data from WorldPop, OSM, and Google Earth Engine

Limitations

• OpenStreetMap facility counts (e.g., hospitals_count) may be incomplete in remote rural regions
• Aggregated district-level data masks localized variations within administrative boundaries
