About this dataset
Postal Codes Dataset for Albania (AL)
This dataset lists the postal codes of Albania with place names, qark (counties), bashki (municipalities) and WGS84 coordinates. It covers every qark but only some of Albania's bashki.
Column definitions, row count, size and last-updated date are in datapackage.yaml.
Data Sources
- Postal codes, place names, administrative divisions and coordinates: © GeoNames, postal code export for Albania, CC BY 4.0.
- Alternative city names: the GeoNames gazetteer dump for Albania, same licence.
Changes made to the source data: qark codes (admin_code1) recomputed as ISO 3166-2:AL codes, the qark name "Tirana"
written as "Qarku i Tiranës", the GeoNames-internal identifier in admin_code2 left empty, and alternative city names
added from the gazetteer dump. See ATTRIBUTION.txt for the full attribution notice.
Not endorsed by, or affiliated with, GeoNames.
Known limitations
- GeoNames only carries postal codes for some of Albania's bashki. This is a gap in the source, not something introduced by this build.
- This release does not reach Albania's third administrative tier (njësi administrative), so
admin_name3andadmin_code3are empty. No commercially licensable, retrievable source for that tier was found. admin_code2(bashkia) is empty: Albania has no official short code for its municipalities.- A postal code can cover several places, so it can appear on more than one row.
Usage
The dataset files are available in CSV format and can be accessed and downloaded using
the links provided in datapackage.yaml.
