Educational Facilities in Spain from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap features for educational facilities across Spain, including kindergartens, schools, colleges, and universities. The dataset is an export from the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated in May 2026. Features may include attributes such as name, address, capacity, and operator type.

Use Cases

• Map the density and distribution of schools based on the `amenity` and `building` tags.
• Analyze the capacity of educational facilities using the `capacity:persons` attribute.
• Identify public versus private operators of schools using the `operator:type` field.
• Geocode educational facilities for routing or service area analysis using the `addr:full` and `addr:city` attributes.

Strengths

• Includes multiple educational facility types (kindergarten, school, college, university) as defined by OpenStreetMap tags.
• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, GEOJSON, KML, SHP).
• Dataset has a specific and recent last updated date of 2026-05-05.

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.
