About this dataset
Postal Codes Dataset for Latvia (LV)
This dataset lists the postal codes of Latvia with place names, WGS84 coordinates, administrative divisions and alternative city names.
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 Latvia, CC BY 4.0.
- Alternative city names: the GeoNames gazetteer for Latvia, same licence.
Changes made to the source data: place names and administrative division names cleaned (a parenthesised part is dropped, punctuation becomes a space and repeated spaces collapse), and an alternative city name added from the gazetteer where one matches the place name.
Not endorsed by, or affiliated with, GeoNames.
Known limitations
admin_name2/admin_code2are blank for some postal codes: the source does not assign this administrative level to every postal code.admin_name3/admin_code3are empty: the source does not provide this administrative level for Latvia.admin_code2contains numeric codes stored with a.0suffix (for example320244.0); strip it before matching against other code lists.admin_name1andadmin_name2often carry a trailing space; trim before matching.
