Spatial geography has increasingly becoming interesting in recent years as a result of progress recorded in spatial technology that guarantees easier interface between both digital and non digital data. Geographic patterns are important in understanding how geographic phenomena behave. This study focuses on spatial demography and is a good choice for confronting many unresolved spatial problems. The study aimed at obtaining information about the demographic inequalities in Nigeria and their effects on spatial distribution of socio-economic services. It also aimed at gathering information about the influence of these inequalities in the distribution of services regarding variances of water supply, cooking fuel, lighting fuel, toilet facility and solid waste disposal in the 36 states and the federal capital territory. The study adopted descriptive analytical method. Data was collected via survey and a questionnaire which was distributed among a random sample. The sample amounted to (384) households. Data was analyzed by using Geographic Information Science and Statistical Regression analysis. The study came up with many results majority importantly Geographic Information Science analysis reveals high positive Z-scores for most of the variables studied. Water supply, toilet facility and lighting fuel were statistically significant at 99% whereas cooking fuel and solid waste were statistically confidence at 95% level, this analysis further shows location of states with households vulnerable to disaster threat across 36 states and the federal capital territory. The statistical regression analysis revealed the calculated coefficient of determination results for Water supply 0.249, Toilet facility 0.992, Cooking Fuel 0.867, Lighting fuel 0.725 and Solid waste 0.541. These predictors explained 24.9%, 99.2%, 86.7%, 72.5% and 54.1% of the variations in the models respectively. There was found inequalities in the distribution of water supply, cooking fuel, lighting fuel, toilet facility and solid waste disposal method which negatively affected households and posed them vulnerable to disaster threat among the 36 states and the federal capital territory. The study seriously recommends that government should consider provision of adequate funds to address problems of inequitable distribution of these variables especially in the most affected states and the need for false discovery rate correction for the statistically unexplained variables.
