Uruguay Populated Places and Settlements from OpenStreetMap

Settlements and residential areas in Uruguay exported from OpenStreetMap. The data includes named cities, towns, villages, suburbs, and residential land areas. It was last updated on 2026-05-15 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Use Cases

• Demographic context analysis based on settlement locations and types.
• Settlement-level targeting for projects based on residential land use data.
• Population distribution analysis based on populated place classifications.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Last update timestamp is precisely recorded (2026-05-15 09:25:20.168372).
• Source is a well-known, collaborative mapping project (OpenStreetMap).

Limitations

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