Slovakia Populated Places and Settlements from OpenStreetMap

Settlements and residential areas in Slovakia exported from OpenStreetMap. The data includes named cities, towns, villages, suburbs, and residential land, derived from OSM tags for place and landuse. It was last updated on 2026-05-15 and is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT).

Use Cases

• Demographic analysis based on settlement types and residential land use.
• Settlement-level targeting for humanitarian or development projects based on populated place locations.
• Population distribution mapping based on the presence of named cities, towns, and villages.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Includes multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON) for flexibility.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, 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.
