Populated Places and Settlements in Grenada from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for Grenada includes named cities, towns, villages, suburbs, and residential land areas. The dataset is an export by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT), last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Create demographic context maps based on named settlements and residential land areas.
• Perform settlement-level targeting for humanitarian or development projects using the place and landuse tags.
• Conduct population distribution analysis based on the spatial distribution of residential areas.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers.
• Includes multiple export formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, HTML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON) for flexibility.
• Covers both named places (`place=*`) and residential land use (`landuse=residential`).

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
