Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Risk Indicators at Admin Level 2

HeiGIT provides risk assessment indicators for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines at the admin level 2 (district) scale, updated as of March 2026. The data integrates demographic, infrastructure, and hazard exposure metrics from WorldPop, OpenStreetMap, and Google Earth Engine to support flood and cyclone resilience analysis.

Use Cases

• Calculating the percentage of vulnerable residents by dividing elderly or children_u5 by total population per district
• Mapping flood risk zones by correlating VCT_ADM2_flood_exposure with infrastructure counts like hospitals_count
• Optimizing resource allocation based on access_pop_primary_healthcare_30min to identify underserved regions

Strengths

• Aggregated at admin level 2 for localized district analysis
• Integrates four distinct data sources: WorldPop, OSM, Google Earth Engine, and ORS
• Provides specific travel-time thresholds (30, 60, 120 minutes) for healthcare access

Limitations

• OSM-derived facility counts (hospitals_count, education_count) may be incomplete in remote areas
• Risk indicators are aggregated at the district level, masking sub-district variations
