Schools, hospitals and offices near Metro Bus stops

What this dataset contains

One row for each OpenStreetMap school, college, university, kindergarten, hospital and clinic, and each Overture Maps office listing (with its office type), inside the study-area GN divisions, with its nearest stop by walking, the walk in metres and whether it is within a 5- or 10-minute walk.

How it is used here

The chart ranks hospitals by the walk to their nearest stop. Of 500 mapped schools, 220 are within a 10-minute walk; of 124 hospitals, 74 are; of 3,650 office listings, 2,203 are.

What it cannot tell you

Population is spread evenly within each GN division, so homes clustered along roads are not modelled. Residents only: workers, students and visitors are not counted. Walks follow mapped OpenStreetMap streets and paths at 80 m a minute and ignore slope, crossings and footpath quality; stop locations are as compiled by lk_metro. Offices and businesses are Overture Maps listings, not jobs: no headcount or floor area, and coverage is uneven. OpenStreetMap is not an official register of schools or health facilities, and Overture office listings are not a business register, so the list is incomplete.
