ADMINISTRATIVE AREA MAPS

DIGITAL ADMINISTRATIVE AREA MAPS AS THE BASIS FOR YOUR DATA

Our current dataset provides comprehensive coverage of administrative boundaries across various countries and regions worldwide. It includes detailed information on multiple hierarchical levels of governance, from national levels down to local administrative units. For each country, the dataset captures:

National level boundaries for all countries.
First-level administrative divisions (such as regions, states, provinces) for a wide array of nations.
Second and third-level subdivisions where applicable, detailing smaller administrative entities like districts or counties.
In some cases, even fourth and fifth-level divisions are available, offering granularity down to the municipality level.

Country

The purchase of administrative boundaries for a country always includes the most detailed level available, such as municipality boundaries, plus the respective higher levels like provinces and states:

Example of Spain: Municipios plus the higher levels Provincias, Comunidades and Agrupaciones.

Example of Sri Lanka: DS-Divisions plus the higher levels Distrikkaya and Paḷāta.

Digital boundaries help you to display and analyze spatial areas on a map. The extensive coverage of our data allows for in-depth spatial analysis, ensuring our clients can access the precise administrative structures necessary for their specific regional or national projects. Our data supports a variety of use cases, including governance, logistics, planning, and development activities across continents.

The administrative areas can easily be matched and attributed with company internal data (e.g. sales figures, sales areas) or SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC DATA and PURCHASING POWER data from MB-International.
