About this dataset
Postal Codes Dataset for Colombia (CO)
This dataset lists the six-digit postal codes of Colombia with place names, departments and municipios (municipalities), and WGS84 coordinates. It covers every department, including the Bogotá capital district.
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 Colombia, CC BY 4.0.
Changes made to the source data: department codes (admin_code1) recomputed as ISO 3166-2:CO codes, and the literal
string "nan" in admin_name3 left empty. Municipio codes (admin_code2) are the 5-digit DIVIPOLA codes as supplied
by the source.
Not endorsed by, or affiliated with, GeoNames.
Known limitations
- The source reaches municipio level only, so
admin_name3andadmin_code3are empty. alternative_city_nameis not populated.
Usage
The dataset files are available in CSV format and can be accessed and downloaded using
the links provided in datapackage.yaml. Read postal_code as text, never as a number:
Colombian codes can start with zero (050001).
