Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is included in the "All-in-One" package?

The All-in-One package contains the complete administrative hierarchy for Netherlands. Instead of buying individual levels, you receive a bundled download containing high-precision boundary polygons for every available tier—from top-level regions/provinces down to the most granular local municipalities or statistical sectors.

Are the different administrative layers organized separately?

Yes. To ensure immediate usability in your preferred GIS software, each administrative level is neatly organized into its own dedicated Shapefile (.shp) and GeoPackage (.gpkg) within the downloaded package.

What coordinate reference system (projection) is used?

All boundary files are delivered in the standard WGS 84 (EPSG:4326) geographic coordinate system.

Can these boundaries be used for commercial location intelligence and market analysis?

Yes. These packages are specifically designed for organizations that require seamless geospatial drill-downs. They are ideal for territory mapping, geodemographic routing, market sizing, demand forecasting, and neighbourhood-level insights.

Do all administrative levels in the package contain demographic data?

Certain administrative levels included in this package integrate base demographic data (like total population) sourced from the official national statistical institute. However, availability depends on the reporting standards of the specific country. Please refer to the "Included Administrative Levels" list above to see exactly which layers include demographic integration.
