Populated Places in Azerbaijan from OpenStreetMap

An OpenStreetMap export of settlements and residential areas in Azerbaijan, including named cities, towns, villages, and suburbs. The data is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete.

Use Cases

• Conducting demographic analysis based on the distribution of named settlements.
• Performing settlement-level targeting for humanitarian or development projects using the place and landuse tags.
• Creating base maps for Azerbaijan that include residential land areas.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Explicitly includes both named places (`place=*`) and residential land areas (`landuse=residential`).

Limitations

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