Liechtenstein Populated Places and Residential Areas from OpenStreetMap

Settlements and residential areas for Liechtenstein exported from OpenStreetMap. The data includes named cities, towns, villages, suburbs, and residential land, tagged with `place=*` and `landuse=residential`. It was last updated on 2026-05-14 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT).

Use Cases

• Demographic analysis based on settlement locations and residential land use.
• Settlement-level targeting for humanitarian or development projects based on populated place data.
• Population distribution mapping based on the presence of named cities, towns, and villages.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats, including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is explicitly derived from OpenStreetMap's `place` and `landuse` tags, providing a clear data model.
• It was last updated on 2026-05-14 17:36:33.300188.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• OpenStreetMap completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete and should be cross-checked with local knowledge.
