Montenegro Populated Places and Residential Areas from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for Montenegro, last updated May 14, 2026. The dataset contains named cities, towns, villages, suburbs, and residential land areas, exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote areas.

Use Cases

• Demographic analysis based on settlement and residential area locations.
• Settlement-level targeting for humanitarian or development projects based on place names.
• Population distribution studies based on residential land use data.

Strengths

• Includes both named places (`place=*`) and residential land areas (`landuse=residential`).
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Data is licensed under the Open Database License (ODbL-1.0).

Limitations

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