México

Q: In what language are the data and documentation provided?

The dataset retains the official Spanish administrative names (e.g., "Ciudad de México", "Álvaro Obregón", "San Ángel") to ensure compatibility with Correos de México standards.
Important: The data is encoded in UTF-8 to correctly display Spanish accents and special characters (á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ). Please ensure your database import settings support UTF-8.

Q: What does the 'tipo_asenta' column represent?

This column defines the settlement type. In Mexico, the postal address must specify the type of settlement, as it is a key part of the official address format.
Common values include:
· Colonia: A standard urban neighborhood (the most common type).
· Pueblo: A town or village, often an older settlement absorbed into a larger city.
· Barrio: A traditional district or quarter.
· Unidad habitacional: A large housing complex or unit.

Q: What is the administrative hierarchy in the dataset?

The data follows the official three-level structure:
1. Estado (State): The highest administrative division (e.g., "Ciudad de México").
2. Municipio (Municipality): The secondary division (e.g., "Álvaro Obregón"). In Mexico City, these correspond to the boroughs (formerly Delegaciones).
3. Asenta (Settlement): The specific locality or neighborhood (e.g., "San Ángel", "Florida").

Q: Does this dataset include street-level addresses?

No. This is a settlement-level database.
It lists all official settlements ("Colonias") and their corresponding postal codes. It validates that a specific neighborhood belongs to a certain postal code and municipality, but it does not list individual street names.

Q: What is the format of the postal code?

Mexico uses a 5-digit numeric postal code (e.g., 01000, 10020). This is found in the codigo column.
