but as he wrote: "It gets more complicated: Only houses will be counted, where: - at least one people has a principal or secondary residence - and at least four neigbours in 200m distance - no objects with agriculture use - also all objects which are registered as workplaces (Statistics Austria 2010, p. 1025)" you would have to do additional analysis. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
