Education Facilities in Samoa from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap volunteer contributions provide a map of schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities in Samoa. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exports this data via HDX, last updated on 2026-05-15. Completeness varies, with urban areas likely better mapped than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Map school access and proximity based on geolocated facility points.
• Plan education resource allocation based on the distribution of schools and colleges.
• Analyze the density of education facilities (kindergartens to universities) for regional development studies.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.
• Includes multiple export formats (GEOPACKAGE, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON) for flexibility.
• Last updated on 2026-05-15, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

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