The US Building Footprint dataset available in github is an awesome resource. The github page has great information on the accuracy/quality of the polygon creation, but I was wondering if there was an estimate of the percentage of total building footprints in the U.S. covered by this dataset? In other words, could this dataset be considered comprehensive for the U.S.?

    Hi @Kate Roberts ,

    I have not found a canonical source to compare but from our perspective, we consider it to be comprehensive and we use it in our Bing Maps product. It should align exactly with our imagery which meets our requirements but we also offer it to OSM & through GITHUB should others find it useful.

    Sincerely,
