Bahamas Risk Assessment Indicators for Flood and Cyclone Hazards at Admin Level 2

HeiGIT produced this collection of risk assessment indicators for the Bahamas at the administrative level 2 (district) to facilitate flood and cyclone hazard modeling. The data integrates demographic, environmental, and infrastructure layers from WorldPop, OpenStreetMap, and Google Earth Engine. It was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Evaluating disaster resilience by analyzing the 'elderly' and 'children_u5' demographic columns
• Planning emergency response routes using 'access_pop_hospitals_30min' to identify underserved districts
• Quantifying infrastructure gaps by comparing 'education_count' and 'primary_healthcare_count' across regions

Strengths

• Aggregated at admin level 2 for localized analysis
• Integrates multi-source data from WorldPop, OpenStreetMap, and Google Earth Engine
• Includes specific travel-time accessibility metrics for healthcare and education

Limitations

• Facility counts such as education_count and hospitals_count are dependent on OpenStreetMap contributor activity
• Exact record count and file size are not explicitly stated in the source
