Atlas AI's Asset Wealth Index (AWI) layer estimates household asset wealth based on asset ownership.
Accurate and comprehensive measurements of economic well-being are fundamental inputs into commerce, research, and policy but such measures are unavailable at a local level in many parts of the world. Our Asset Wealth layer is produced from a deep learning model that predicts survey-based estimates from satellite imagery. To facilitate comparison within and across countries, we transformed Asset Wealth into a normalized index.
This data is available in multiple versions in raster format and is updated annually for several geographic regions. Yearly and regional coverage for the current versions are:
-
v2022: 43 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa from 2003–2021 at 1km resolution
-
v2022 (beta): Six countries in South Asia from 2015–2021 at 1km resolution
-
v2021: Sub-Saharan Africa from 2003–2020 at 2km resolution
