Table 3. Statistics on the number of clusters and affected values per country.

Country # of Clusters Considered share Affected at 5 m flood height
 
      Value [billion €] Cluster share
For each country, the considered share indicates the fraction of the total cluster area that can be attributed to the considered land-use classes. The affected monetary value is determined by taking into account the considered share for the areas that are affected by a certain flood. We give an example of the affected values at a hypothetical 5 m flood height. The cluster share indicates the share of the affected values in each country that are included in the coastal city clusters of this study.

aIncludes the Liverpool/Manchester megacluster. When split, the number of clusters remains unchanged since the Manchester subcluster does not qualify as a coastal cluster.

bWe obtain 7 coastal subclusters from splitting up the Flemish Diamond.
