Education Facilities of Chile from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities across Chile, tagged via `amenity` or `building` keys. The dataset was exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and last updated on 2026-06-28. Coverage reflects volunteer mapper activity, with urban areas typically better represented than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Map school access and proximity based on geolocated facility data.
• Plan education infrastructure and resource allocation using the inventory of schools and universities.
• Analyze spatial distribution of educational amenities across urban and remote areas.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Includes multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON) for flexibility.

Limitations

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