In this section, the datasets used for the analysis of street names by the Street Names Lab team are made available to users.
Title
Street Names Database
Description
The repository contains three datasets:
- The street directory of North America (Canada, Mexico, and the USA), referring to the years 2022-2023.
- The street directories of 16 European countries, referring to the year 2022.
- The Spanish street directory from 2001 to 2025.
The source of the North American and European street directories is OpenStreetMap, while the source for the Spanish dataset is the INE.
The datasets contain the identifier code of each street, its name, and the geographical unit to which it belongs. Street names have been processed to facilitate analysis. In each case, the Python script detailing the data processing is provided.
Title
Female share in Spanish street names
Description
The observations in this dataset correspond to Spanish municipalities from 2001 to 2025. The file provides, for each municipality, data on the number of streets named after women, the number of streets named after men, these same variables excluding religious names, and the female share relative to the total number of people’s names in the street directory.
