• Settlement-level targeting for humanitarian or development projects based on residential land use.
• Population distribution analysis using the mapped populated places.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is derived from OpenStreetMap, a widely-used, open-source global map.

Limitations
