Lithuania Populated Places and Residential Areas from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports for Lithuania contain settlements and residential areas, including named cities, towns, villages, and suburbs. The data is sourced from the collaborative OpenStreetMap project and exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. It was last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Demographic context analysis based on settlement locations and types.
• Settlement-level targeting for projects or services based on populated place data.
• Population distribution analysis based on residential landuse areas.

Strengths

• Includes both named populated places (`place=*`) and residential land areas (`landuse=residential`).
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, but remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
