Populated Places and Settlements in Luxembourg from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for settlements and residential areas in Luxembourg, including named cities, towns, villages, suburbs, and residential land. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exports this data, last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being more complete than remote areas.

Use Cases

• Demographic analysis based on settlement types and residential land use.
• Settlement-level targeting for logistics or service planning based on populated place locations.
• Population distribution studies based on the density and classification of residential areas.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON) for flexibility.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.

Limitations

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