OnCoord - POI Density

POI Density

The POI Density API returns the count of points of interest within 1 km and 2 km of any coordinate across Latin America, broken down by category, along with a urbanity index — a 0–1 score that summarises commercial intensity at the location. Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, the same underlying dataset that powers OnCoord's address and venue search.

Click anywhere on the map — or type coordinates below — to retrieve POI density data. All counts will be 0 for oceans or locations outside the coverage area.

within_1km / within_2km — total POI count and per-category breakdown within the respective radius. The 1 km ring is suited to hyperlocal analysis; 2 km gives a broader neighbourhood picture.

Broad categories — retail, food, transport, health, education, religion, entertainment, government, accommodation, nightlife, recreation, professional, and finance.

Specialized categories — amenity:hospital, amenity:fire_station, and amenity:police are always returned, even when the count is zero.

urbanity_index — a 0–1 score derived from the 1 km counts. High-signal categories (restaurants, cafés, banks, pharmacies, supermarkets) carry extra weight. A score near 1 indicates a dense urban core; below 0.1 typically indicates a rural or peri-urban location.
