Education Facilities in Mexico from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap features in Mexico tagged as kindergartens, schools, colleges, or universities. The dataset is an export by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated on March 3, 2026. Features may include attributes such as name, address, capacity, and operator type.

Use Cases

• Map the spatial distribution of educational institutions based on the 'amenity' and 'building' tags.
• Analyze facility capacity for regional planning using the 'capacity:persons' attribute.
• Identify public versus private operators using the 'operator:type' field.
• Geocode addresses for routing or service area analysis using the 'addr:full' and 'addr:city' fields.

Strengths

• Data includes multiple facility types: kindergarten, school, college, and university.
• Attributes may include localized names in English and Spanish ('name:en', 'name:es').
• Available in multiple geospatial formats: SHP, GEOJSON, GEOPACKAGE, KML.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic or contributor bias inherent to OpenStreetMap.
