Equatorial Guinea Populated Places from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team provide locations of settlements and residential areas in Equatorial Guinea. The data includes named cities, towns, villages, suburbs, and residential land areas. It was last updated on 2026-05-15.

Use Cases

• Map settlement distribution based on named places and residential landuse.
• Provide demographic context for a region based on populated place locations.
• Support settlement-level targeting for humanitarian or development projects.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, and GEOJSON.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers.
• Explicitly includes features tagged with `place=*` and `landuse=residential`.

Limitations

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