Paraguay Risk Assessment Indicators: District-Level Flood and Access Data

HeiGIT provides risk assessment indicators for Paraguay at the admin level 2 (district) scale, derived from the GAIA Pipeline. The dataset integrates demographic, infrastructure, and flood hazard data from sources like WorldPop and OpenStreetMap to support disaster resilience analysis. It was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing healthcare gaps by comparing access_pop_hospitals_30min with total district population
• Identifying vulnerable populations for flood response using the elderly and children_u5 columns
• Evaluating infrastructure density using education_count and primary_healthcare_count

Strengths

• Admin level 2 granularity for all indicators
• Integration of multi-source data from WorldPop, OpenStreetMap, and Google Earth Engine
• Includes specific travel-time accessibility metrics for healthcare and education rather than simple Euclidean distance

Limitations

• Facility counts such as hospitals_count are dependent on OpenStreetMap completeness, which may vary by region
• District-level aggregation may obscure localized risks or disparities within large administrative areas
