Fig. 2: Comparison of global and regional estimates of flood risk estimates with globally standardised measures of relative deprivation.
From: Integrating social vulnerability into high-resolution global flood risk mapping
a shows global estimates of the number of people by flood Risk Score. Relative deprivation quintiles are standardised against the global income distribution to enable cross-regional comparison. Grey bars represent exposure-only estimates based on expected population exposure; black bars represent vulnerability adjusted estimates using GDP per capita as a proxy measure. b provides a regional breakdown of estimates using each approach.
