About this dataset
Postal Codes Dataset for Ecuador (EC)
This dataset lists Ecuadorian six-digit postal codes (the CORREOSCODIGO format) with place names, provinces (all of them), cantons and WGS84 coordinates.
Column definitions, row count, size and last-updated date are in datapackage.yaml.
Data Sources
- Postal codes, place names, provinces, cantons and coordinates: © GeoNames, postal code export for Ecuador, CC BY 4.0.
Changes made to the source data: province codes (admin_code1) written as ISO 3166-2:EC codes by name crosswalk from the GeoNames numeric codes.
Not endorsed by, or affiliated with, GeoNames. See ATTRIBUTION.txt for the full attribution notice.
Known limitations
- Postal codes 900001 to 900004 (the historically disputed inter-provincial territory of Manga del Cura) carry no province in the source; their administrative fields are left empty rather than guessed.
- No parroquia (parish) tier is available from this source, 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:
Ecuadorian codes can start with zero (010101).
