Q: Does this dataset include geolocation coordinates?

Yes. Unlike many standard postal datasets, the Kenya database includes Latitude ('lat') and Longitude ('lng') columns for every record.
Usage: These coordinates typically point to the center of the town or the specific location of the Post Office branch, allowing you to plot delivery centers on a map immediately without needing an external geocoding service.

Q: Do the postal codes cover specific streets or houses?

No. Kenya utilizes a locality-based postal system (primarily P.O. Box based). The postal code (e.g., 40101) is assigned to a specific Town, Market Center, or Village (listed in the 'locality' column). It does not resolve to a specific street address or house number.

Q: What is the administrative hierarchy in the dataset?

The data follows a two-level structure:
· County: The primary administrative division (e.g., "Baringo", "Bungoma").
· Locality: The specific town or service area (e.g., "Eldama Ravine", "Kabarak").
You should use the 'county' column for broad regional filtering and 'locality' for specific delivery routing.

Q: Why do some Locality names include names in parentheses?

The 'locality' column may occasionally include historical names or alternative spellings in parentheses (e.g., "Amalo (Formerly Oloomirani)"). This helps in matching addresses that may still use older terminology.

Q: What is the format of the postal code?

Kenya uses a 5-digit numeric postal code (e.g., 20103, 50200). This is found in the postal_code column.

Q: In what language is the data provided?

The dataset is provided in English, which is the official language for business and administration in Kenya.

Q: What file formats are included in the delivery?

The package includes CSV, Excel (.xlsx), and TXT formats. All files are encoded in UTF-8 to ensure compatibility across different systems.
