About this dataset
Postal Codes Dataset for Kenya (KE)
This dataset lists Kenyan postal codes with post office locations and coordinates, across every county.
Column definitions, row count, size and last-updated date are in datapackage.yaml.
Data Sources
- Postal codes, place names, counties and coordinates: © GeoNames postal code export for Kenya, CC BY 4.0.
Changes made to the source data: county codes (admin_code1) derived as ISO 3166-2:KE by a name-based crosswalk of the counties, replacing the source's own internal numbering.
Not endorsed by, or affiliated with, GeoNames.
See ATTRIBUTION.txt for the full attribution notice.
Known limitations
- Primary key is (
postal_code,place_name). - The source stops at county level: no second or third administrative tier exists, and
alternative_city_nameis empty.
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:
Kenyan codes can start with zero (00100).
