Socioeconomic Asset Dataset for Disaster Loss Assessment in Pakistan (1960–2026)

With the accelerated development of the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), infrastructure exposure and potential economic losses have increased significantly, creating an urgent need for a comprehensive multi-type socioeconomic asset database to support refined disaster loss assessment. This study digitizes and structurally organizes information extracted from government documents, statistical yearbooks, and online platforms.

Units and measurement standards were harmonized, asset classification attributes were supplemented, and outlier screening and logical consistency checks were conducted to establish a structured database covering four core categories of socioeconomic assets: real estate, transportation and water infrastructure, crops, and livestock. The dataset spans 1960–2026 and mainly covers Pakistan in space. Real estate data consist of 2024 property price information from 56 cities, including agricultural, industrial, commercial, and residential land types.
