Andorra Building Footprints from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide building footprints across Andorra, including residential, hospital, school, and place-of-worship features. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this export, last updated on 2026-05-13. Completeness varies, with urban areas likely more detailed than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Estimate population density based on building footprint distribution.
• Assess potential damage from natural disasters based on building locations.
• Plan urban development and infrastructure based on existing building layouts.

Strengths

• Includes every OpenStreetMap feature tagged as a building (`building=*`).
• Covers multiple building types mentioned in the description, from homes to hospitals.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats: GEOPACKAGE, SHP, JSON.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
