Education Facilities in Puerto Rico from OpenStreetMap

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

Use Cases

• Mapping school locations for disaster preparedness planning based on the geospatial coordinates.
• Analyzing the distribution of education facilities by type (e.g., kindergarten vs. university) based on the 'amenity' or 'building' tags.
• Assessing facility capacity for resource allocation based on the 'capacity:persons' attribute.
• Validating or enriching local education directories using the 'name' and 'addr:full' fields.

Strengths

• Includes multiple education facility types: kindergarten, school, college, and university.
• Provides data in multiple geospatial formats: GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, and KML.
• Contains potential address and capacity information for facilities.

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.
