Education Facilities in the Bahamas from OpenStreetMap

Education facilities from OpenStreetMap, exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. The data includes schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities tagged via `amenity` or `building` keys. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Map school access and catchment areas based on facility locations.
• Plan education infrastructure and resource allocation based on the distribution of schools and universities.
• Cross-reference facility data with demographic information for needs assessment.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, and GEOJSON.
• Derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers.

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.
