Bahamas Accessibility Indicators for Healthcare and Education Services

HeiGIT provides a dataset assessing spatial accessibility to healthcare and education services across the Bahamas using travel-time isochrones and 100m-resolution WorldPop population data. The data is structured by administrative units from country to sub-national levels (ADM 1–4) and includes population counts within specified distance and time ranges. It was last updated on 2026-04-11.

Use Cases

• Modeling healthcare service catchment areas based on travel-time isochrones.
• Assessing school accessibility for school-age populations based on distance bands.
• Analyzing population coverage gaps for primary healthcare facilities.
• Comparing service accessibility across different administrative levels (ADM 1–4).

Strengths

• Integrates high-resolution (100m) population data from WorldPop.
• Calculates accessibility for multiple service categories (education, hospitals, primary_healthcare).
• Provides results summarized at multiple administrative levels where available.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
