Postal codes

[fabian-geelhoedt-randstad]

Dear,

At Randstad we are looking for international postal code data for different countries and we are looking into Overture data to see if we can use it for our use case, which is mapping long and lat to postal codes and to higher order geographical locations such as MSAs or countries. We were not able to readily find this data in the parquet files in the S3 bucket and we are wondering if you'd have this data available, e.g., in some master data file.

Regards,

Fabian

FYI, in most countries postal codes are not locations or areas, they are lists of addresses. As such, there is no direct spatial component to postal codes. When you see a postal code "boundary", they are typically derived indirectly from the addresses contained in them.

You will probably want to figure out a different way to solve your problem.

Got it. Thank you for the clarification.
