Education Facilities in Austria from OpenStreetMap

Austria's education facilities, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities, are mapped via OpenStreetMap tags. The dataset is produced by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-06-26. Coverage likely reflects volunteer mapper activity, with urban areas typically better represented than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Map school accessibility based on geospatial location data.
• Plan education resource allocation based on facility distribution.
• Analyze urban versus remote coverage of educational amenities.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Includes multiple facility types: schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats: GEOPACKAGE, SHP, KML, GEOJSON, JSON.

Limitations

• Coverage is uneven, with urban areas likely well-represented and remote areas sparse.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
