Abstract: Street names constitute a rich source of data for quantitative analysis in social sciences. We gather and process street-name data from OpenStreetMap to create an accessible and readily analyzable street names database for the US and a large part of Europe. We also develop a web app to visualize the spatial distribution of street names and download the underlying data from users’ queries. These tools will continue to expand its geographic coverage by including additional countries.
