Ivory Coast Risk Assessment and Flood Exposure Indicators by District

HeiGIT produced these risk assessment indicators for Ivory Coast at the admin level 2 scale in 2026. The data integrates demographic, infrastructure, and flood hazard metrics from WorldPop and OpenStreetMap to support disaster resilience analysis.

Use Cases

• Flood hazard assessment using the CIV_ADM2_flood_exposure layer to prioritize disaster mitigation
• Healthcare gap analysis by correlating access_pop_primary_healthcare_30min with elderly population counts
• Infrastructure development planning using education_count and pop_u15 to identify underserved districts

Strengths

• Standardized ADM2_PCODE fields for integration with HDX COD-AB boundaries
• Granular demographic breakdowns including female_u5 and elderly (65+) populations
• Multi-modal accessibility metrics derived from the openrouteservice (ORS) engine

Limitations

• Potential data gaps in education_count or hospitals_count due to reliance on crowdsourced OpenStreetMap data
• Spatial aggregation at admin level 2 may obscure localized risks within large districts
