Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote areas.

Use Cases

• Demographic context analysis based on settlement locations and types.

• Population distribution analysis based on residential landuse areas.

Strengths

• Includes multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, HTML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Covers a specific country (Honduras) for focused analysis.
• Derived from a well-known collaborative mapping source (OpenStreetMap).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data completeness varies by region, with remote areas potentially incomplete.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
