Human Development Index (HDI)¶

Composite index consisting of life expectancy, education and per capita income indicators which are used to rank countries by their human development.

Loading Data from OpenStreetMap¶

Using the Overpass API and the Overpass QL

In [1]:

import requests

overpass_url = "http://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter"
overpass_query = """
[out:json];
area["ISO3166-1"="DE"][admin_level=2]->.search;
node[place="city"](area.search);
out count;"""
response = requests.get(overpass_url, params={'data': overpass_query})
response.json()

Out[1]:

{'elements': [{'id': 0,
   'tags': {'areas': '0',
    'nodes': '82',
    'relations': '0',
    'total': '82',
    'ways': '0'},
   'type': 'count'}],
