Bulgarian Education Facilities from OpenStreetMap

An OpenStreetMap export of education facilities in Bulgaria, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities. The data is contributed by volunteers and maintained by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, with a last recorded update in May 2026. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being more thoroughly mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Map school access and catchment areas based on facility locations.
• Plan education resource allocation based on the distribution of schools and universities.
• Analyze urban infrastructure density using the tagged amenity and building data.

Strengths

• Covers multiple facility types: schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative mapping project.

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.
