Tunisia Populated Places from OpenStreetMap, Including Cities and Residential Areas

Tunisia's settlements and residential areas exported from OpenStreetMap. The data includes named cities, towns, villages, suburbs, and residential land use. It was last updated on 2026-05-15 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Use Cases

• Demographic analysis based on settlement locations and types.
• Settlement-level targeting for humanitarian or development projects based on populated place data.
• Population distribution studies based on the mapping of residential land use.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats, including GEOPACKAGE, KML, and GEOJSON.
• Explicitly includes named places and residential land use from the OSM `place` and `landuse` tags.

Limitations

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