Equatorial Guinea Risk Assessment Indicators at Admin Level 2

HeiGIT provides risk assessment indicators for Equatorial Guinea at the admin level 2 (district) scale, updated as of March 2026. The data aggregates demographic, infrastructure, and accessibility metrics from WorldPop and OpenStreetMap to facilitate flood hazard analysis.

Use Cases

• Estimating healthcare gaps by analyzing the population within 30 minutes of a hospital using access_pop_hospitals_30min
• Identifying high-risk districts for flood response by mapping children_u5 and elderly populations
• Planning educational infrastructure based on education_count and access_pop_education_5km metrics

Strengths

• Aggregated at admin level 2 for localized district analysis
• Includes travel-time accessibility metrics (30/60/120 minutes) to healthcare derived from openrouteservice
• Integrates data from WorldPop, OpenStreetMap, and Google Earth Engine

Limitations

• Infrastructure counts (education_count, hospitals_count) are limited by OpenStreetMap's data completeness in the region
• Demographic data is derived from WorldPop estimates rather than a recent national census
