About this dataset
Postal Codes Dataset for Suriname (SR)
Suriname has no postal code system. This dataset lists the ressorten (sub-districts) across the districts of Suriname, with coordinates — an administrative-divisions-only dataset. postal_code is empty on every row; this is not an oversight.
Column definitions, row count, size and last-updated date are in datapackage.yaml.
Data Sources
- Districts, ressorten, coordinates and alternative names: © GeoNames, main gazetteer dump for Suriname, CC BY 4.0.
- District labels: the GeoNames admin1 codes table, same licence.
Changes made to the source data: ressorten taken from the gazetteer's second-level administrative features; admin_name1 and admin_code1 set to the ISO 3166-2:SR district name and code (prefix stripped) through a crosswalk; coordinates formatted to 5 decimal places; accuracy set to RESSORT; alternative names de-duplicated, with any equal to the place name dropped, and joined with |.
Not endorsed by, or affiliated with, GeoNames.
Known limitations
admin_code2is empty: GeoNames' admin2 code for Suriname is its own identifier, not an official ressort code.
