place density v15.0.0

Measures how built-up the area around a point is: how many places sit within the radius, the rate per km², a breakdown per category, and a classification (dense_urban, urban, suburban, rural). The classification is driven by the per-km² rate rather than the raw count, so it does not change when you change the radius. Data is Overture Maps Places.
