Handwashing facilities available to only 49.48% of households.
Majority of houses are vulnerable: 59.9% kancha and 7.13% jhupri.
Limited pucca housing (16.99%) increases exposure to hazards.

High population density (1,134 persons/km²).
Predominance of fragile housing structures.
Poor sanitation increases disaster-related vulnerability.
Floods, cyclones, and tidal surges pose severe displacement threats.
