Data package / Dataset R
floodvulnerability
Explore neighbourhood social vulnerability to flooding across the UK.
What it helps with
Datasets from Sayers and Partners describe neighbourhood flood vulnerability and flood disadvantage. The collection also includes SEPA flood areas for Scotland.
What you need
Requires an R installation and the project’s documented dependencies.
Coverage and considerations
The 2025 neighbourhood index is UK-wide. Flood disadvantage covers England and Wales (2022); Scottish flood areas are from 2024. Social vulnerability is not a forecast of a particular flood.
Data period: Neighbourhood vulnerability: 2025; flood disadvantage: 2022; Scottish flood areas: 2024
