kindergarten is a school, not a child-care center. They are two
fundamentally different things. Also, child-care centers serve a range of
ages, not just 5-year-olds. I, too, tried to find a real child-care tag a
few months ago. There is none, and "kindergarten" doesn't cut
it.<br><br>

Yes. Part of the thesis of the article is based around the claims of what
gets mapped. The claims in the article do not reflect reality.<br><br>
OSM has more child-care centers (amenity=kindergarten) mapped than sports
arenas or sports arenas, the examples from the article. I couldn't figure
out what tags Levine was talking about for strip clubs.<br><br>
For healthcare, the claims are vaguer, but as a general rule,
"primary" information like something being a doctor's office,
clinic, or other healthcare facility gets mapped faster than
"subtag" information like what type of specialty the doctor's
has. This is normal - when I'm out mapping, noting where there's a
doctor's or clinic is more important than what type it is. You see the
same in other subtags. <br><br>
Looking at what healthcare facilities is tagged with that
additional information, and ignoring "general", the five most
popular are "Obstetrics and gynaecology",
"Ophthalmology", "General (internal) medicine",
"Paediatrics", and "Trauma and orthopaedic surgery".
(UK terms).<br><br>
The gender percentages are interesting, and if accurate, put a much lower
value on percentage of mapping that HOT does than I've seen in the past.
I suspect there are some problems with different sources of numbers, and
the numbers cited not being accurate.<br><br>
