South Africa — City Resilience Report
AI Analysis
Generated by google/gemma-3-12b-it:free — based on deterministic metrics above
Cape Town demonstrates moderate overall resilience, underpinned by strong water security but facing challenges in connectivity. The city's resilience profile is characterized by a connected regional network and a notable daylight variation. This assessment is based solely on the provided data and does not represent a comprehensive analysis.

Methodology
Limited data available. Treat scores as rough estimates.
Data Sources
Geographic and population data from GeoNames. Climate data from Open-Meteo historical archive (2023). Daylight and prayer times computed with SunCalc algorithms. All calculations are deterministic and reproducible.
What These Scores Measure
Scores are based on geographic and climate signals only — temperature, elevation, daylight patterns, and nearby city density. They do not account for water infrastructure, governance, economic development, or disaster preparedness. A high score means favorable natural conditions, not necessarily strong resilience in practice.
Score Formula
The overall resilience score is a weighted average of five sub-scores: Climate Stability (25%), Connectivity (25%), Exposure & Terrain (20%), Water Security (15%), and Daylight Stability (15%). Each sub-score ranges from 0 to 100.
