Abstract Coastal communities experience increasing threats from hazards under climate change, yet evidence on household-level disaster resilience remains fragmented, specifically in developing nations. We here propose Coastal Household-level Economic, Social, and Infrastructure Robustness (CHESIR) indicators utilizing data on household survey ( n = 441 households) in two coastal hazards-exposed unions in southwestern Bangladesh (September–November 2023). An ordered logistic regression model is developed to detect significant CHESIR indicators related to household resilience. Of 22 indicators measured, 64% appear to be significant in Koilasganj and 68% in Laudubi ( p < .05). Nine indicators were significant determinants in both unions, including emergency fund (OR = 8.21; 95% CI: 3.56–18.94), savings fund (OR = 8.64; 4.67–15.97), accessibility to sufficient food (OR = 6.06; 3.11–11.79), diversification of livelihoods (OR = 9.25; 5.04–16.98), accessibility to disaster information centers (OR = 8.10; 4.29–15.27), participation in NGO programs (OR = 4.73; 2.63–8.51), accessibility to tube-wells (OR = 4.66; 2.52–8.64), semi-brick housing (OR = 28.61; 11.46–71.45), and accessibility to nearby river/forest resources (OR = 6.36; 3.39–11.93). As the evaluation relies on cross-sectional survey data, the anticipated odds ratios exhibit statistical associations rather than causal effects. These outcomes highlight household-level actionable leverage points to strengthen resilience in coastal Bangladesh and put forth a transferable assessment framework for similar risk contexts.
