Macedonia Risk Assessment Indicators: District-Level Flood and Demographic Data

HeiGIT provides risk assessment indicators for Macedonia aggregated at the administrative level 2 (districts) across multiple thematic CSV files to support flood hazard analysis. The data integrates demographic, infrastructure, and accessibility metrics derived from WorldPop, OpenStreetMap, and Google Earth Engine. It was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Identifying high-risk zones by correlating flood_exposure with elderly and children_u5 population counts
• Evaluating healthcare resilience by analyzing the access_pop_hospitals_30min column across different districts
• Resource allocation for education by comparing education_count with the pop_u15 demographic data

Strengths

• Aggregated at the sub-national admin level 2 for localized planning
• Includes specific travel-time metrics (30, 60, 120 minutes) derived from openrouteservice
• Combines demographic data from WorldPop with infrastructure data from OpenStreetMap

Limitations

• Facility counts are subject to the completeness and accuracy of OpenStreetMap crowdsourced data
• Geographic coverage is restricted to Macedonia only
• Temporal resolution of underlying sources may vary between indicators
