Guatemala Urban Public Transport Accessibility Estimates

Estimated share of Guatemala's urban population with walking-distance access to public transport stops. The data was produced by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) Data and Analytics Section and was last updated in May 2026. It measures access within 500 meters for low-capacity systems and 1000 meters for high-capacity systems along the street network.

Use Cases

• Assess urban transport equity based on estimated population access shares.
• Model service coverage gaps for public transport planning based on walking-distance thresholds.
• Benchmark city-level accessibility metrics against international standards based on the 500m/1000m criteria.

Strengths

• Data is provided by the authoritative United Nations Human Settlements Programme.
• Last update timestamp is precisely recorded as 2026-05-06 22:30:19.442288.
• Available in both CSV and XLSX formats for flexible analysis.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The description is specific but does not detail the estimation methodology or raw input data.
