Urugwaj

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

The dataset is provided in Spanish.
It uses the official administrative names (e.g., "ARTIGAS", "BALTASAR BRUM").
Important: The data is encoded in UTF-8. You must strictly use UTF-8 encoding when importing this data to ensure Spanish characters (like Ñ) are displayed correctly.

Q: What is the format of the postal code?

Uruguay uses a 5-digit numeric postal code (e.g., 55000, 55100).
This is found in the codigo_postal column.

Q: What does "LIMITE CONTESTADO" mean in the 'departamento' column?

While Uruguay has 19 official departments (e.g., "ARTIGAS", "MONTEVIDEO"), there are specific geographical areas with undefined or disputed departmental borders.
These areas are officially designated as "LIMITE CONTESTADO" in the dataset to ensure accurate classification outside of the standard departmental structure.

Q: Does this dataset include street-level addresses?

No. This is a locality-level database.
With approximately 2,061 records, it lists the specific cities, towns, and rural settlements ('localidad') and their corresponding postal codes. It does not list individual street names or house numbers.

Q: What is the administrative hierarchy in the dataset?

The data follows a simple two-tier structure:
1. Departamento: The highest administrative division (e.g., "ARTIGAS").
2. Localidad: The specific city, town, or village (e.g., "BELLA UNION").

Q: What file formats are included in the delivery?

The package includes CSV, Excel (.xlsx), and TXT formats. Since the dataset is compact (~2,000 rows), it is very easy to manage in any standard spreadsheet software.
