What the numbers say
San Francisco accounts for 24 notable places listed on OpenStreetMap in this cycle, all of them on September 28, 2026. Every row below is a record as its source published it — no estimate, no interpolation, and nothing carried over from a previous run.
That places San Francisco 1 of 5 among North America, which is within a rounding error of the median for that group.
The most recent entries are WWII Pacific War Memorial Hall, Cable Car Turntable (Powell & Market), California Bell. This page is a view of public data and not a substitute for it — check the original before acting on any row.
The list, read out
Memorials account for 8 of the 24: California Bell, Sun Yat-sen's statue, Chinese-American World War Memorial, Ohlone Indian Memorial, Martin Luther King, The Birthplace of a Great City, First Public School in California and William Alexander Leidesdorff.

Attractions account for 7 of the 24: Cable Car Turntable (Powell & Market), Dragon Gate, California and Powell streets, Bank of Canton (former Chinese Telephone Exchange), Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory, Salesforce Park Cable Car and Bayside History Walk. Footway accounts for 1 of the 24: Greenwich Steps. Alphabetically the register runs from Bank of Canton (former Chinese Telephone Exchange) to Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Gallery.
That is 4 place types across 24 listings for San Francisco. Memorials are the largest group at 8, footway the smallest at 1 — the mix is the map speaking, not this page: a type is whatever the OpenStreetMap record says it is. One label appears exactly once — footway (Greenwich Steps).
The addresses OpenStreetMap files these places under touch 22 distinct localities, and they cluster: Mission Street holds 2 (Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Gallery and Ohlone Indian Memorial) and Quincy Street holds 2 (Sun Yat-sen's statue and Chinese-American World War Memorial), while 20 localities carry one entry each — a rough sketch of where San Francisco keeps its notable ground.
