Estonian Education Facilities from OpenStreetMap for Access Mapping

OpenStreetMap data on Estonian education facilities, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities, tagged via `amenity` or `building` keys. The dataset is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-06-27. Coverage reflects volunteer mapper activity, with urban areas likely better represented than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Map school accessibility for demographic analysis based on facility locations.
• Plan education resource allocation based on the spatial distribution of schools and kindergartens.
• Analyze urban versus rural education infrastructure gaps based on volunteer mapping coverage mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Includes multiple facility types: schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats: GEOPACKAGE, SHP, KML, GEOJSON, JSON.

Limitations

• Coverage is uneven, with urban areas likely 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.
