British Virgin Islands Populated Places from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data provides named settlements and residential areas across the British Virgin Islands. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exports this data, which includes cities, towns, villages, suburbs, and residential land parcels. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being more detailed than remote locations.

Use Cases

• Map population distribution based on residential land use and named places.
• Analyze settlement patterns and hierarchy (city, town, village) for regional planning.
• Provide geographic context for demographic or socioeconomic studies in the British Virgin Islands.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a widely-used, free, and collaborative global map.
• Includes multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON) for flexibility.
• Last updated on 2026-05-15, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

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