Saint Kitts and Nevis Risk Assessment Indicators at Admin Level 2

HeiGIT produced this dataset of risk assessment indicators for Saint Kitts and Nevis, aggregated at the administrative level 2 (district) for flood hazard analysis. It integrates demographic, infrastructure, and accessibility data derived from WorldPop, OpenStreetMap, and Google Earth Engine as of March 2026.

Use Cases

• Flood hazard response planning using access_pop_hospitals_30min to identify areas with limited medical reach
• Vulnerability mapping by correlating elderly and children_u5 populations with flood_exposure indicators
• Resource allocation analysis based on education_count and primary_healthcare_count per district

Strengths

• Integrates multi-source data from WorldPop, OSM, and Google Earth Engine
• Provides granular travel-time metrics (30/60/120 min) for healthcare access
• Uses standardized HDX COD-AB administrative boundaries for interoperability

Limitations

• Small geographic scope limited to Saint Kitts and Nevis districts
• Facility counts are dependent on OpenStreetMap contributor activity which may vary in completeness
