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

The dataset retains the original column headers which are a mix of Spanish and localized terms (e.g., departamento, municipo, localite). The place names (e.g., "ALTA VERAPAZ", "COBAN") are in Spanish, the official language of Guatemala. A comprehensive user guide in English is included to explain these fields.

Q: Why do some records list "DEPARTAMENTO DE..." in the 'municipo' column?

This dataset includes department-level postal codes. Records such as "DEPARTAMENTO DE ALTA VERAPAZ" (often ending in '000', like 16000) represent the general routing code for the entire province. These are typically used when a more specific municipality or locality is not provided in the address.

Q: What is the difference between 'municipo' and 'localite'?

These fields represent the hierarchy of the address:
· municipo: The Municipality (Município). This is the primary local government area.
· localite: The specific Locality (village, town, or settlement) within that municipality.
Note: If localite is empty, the postal code applies to the municipality as a whole (e.g., "COBAN" - 16001). If localite is populated (e.g., "LA TINTA"), the code is specific to that settlement (16016).

Q: Are there typos in the column headers (e.g., 'municipo')?

The column headers in this dataset use specific identifiers: municipo (referring to Municipality) and localite (referring to Locality). Please use these exact field names when mapping the data to your system, even if they differ slightly from standard Spanish spelling (Municipio/Localidad).

Q: What is the format of the postal code?

Guatemala uses a 5-digit numeric postal code (e.g., 16001, 16016). The first two digits usually correspond to the Department code.

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 strictly preserve Spanish characters (e.g., ñ, á, é, í, ó, ú).
