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

The dataset is provided in French (the official language of administration in Senegal) and uses standard local place names (e.g., "FATICK", "DJILOR").
Note: The data is encoded in UTF-8, which ensures that any specific characters are displayed correctly.

Q: Why do multiple villages ('quartier') share the same postal code?

In Senegal, postal codes are typically assigned to a central post office or commune that serves the surrounding area.
Example: In the dataset, villages like "NDIOMBY", "SADIOGA", and "BOLLY" all share the code 24022 because they are all served by the main post office in the DJILOR department.

Q: What is the administrative hierarchy in the dataset?

The data follows a three-level structure:
· region: The top-level administrative division (e.g., "FATICK").
· department: The secondary level (e.g., "DJILOR").
· quartier: The specific locality, neighborhood, or village (e.g., "NDIOMBY").
Validation should be done by checking if the quartier belongs to the correct department.

Q: What does it mean when 'quartier' has the same name as 'department'?

You will often see a record where the 'quartier' name matches the 'department' name (e.g., Quartier "DJILOR" inside Department "DJILOR"). This usually represents the central town or the administrative seat of that department, where the main post office is located.

Q: What is the format of the postal code?

Senegal uses a 5-digit numeric postal code (e.g., 24022, 24025). This is found in the postalcode column.
