Central Java province has the highest disaster risk index (score 203) of 33 provinces in Indonesia. In 2022, the Province was most affected by floods with 203 incidents. Kudus Regency is one of the regencies in Central Java that is often affected by floods. Mejobo sub-district is the sub-district with the most flood events in the last 5 years. The frequent occurrence of floods triggers various emerging problems such as social vulnerability. Hence, the purpose of this study is to examine social vulnerability and population analysis in the Mejobo sub-district. The calculation of vulnerability classes uses 5 parameters, namely population density, people with disabilities, vulnerable age groups, poor people, and women. which is then scored for each parameter and classified into 3 vulnerability classes (low, middle, and high vulnerability). The results obtained for low vulnerability were found in 3 villages, namely Jojo, Temulus, and Tenggeles Villages. Moderate vulnerability is in the villages of Hadiwarno, Kirig, and Mejobo. In the high vulnerability class, there are 5 villages, namely Golantepus, Jepang, Gulang, Kesambi, and Payaman.
