#' @docType data
#' @name eurostat_geodata_60_2016
#'
#' @details
#' The dataset contains 2016 observations (rows) and 12 variables (columns).
#'
#' The object contains the following columns:
#' * **id**: JSON id code, the same as **NUTS_ID**. See **NUTS_ID** below for
#'   further clarification.
#' * **LEVL_CODE**: NUTS level code: 0 (national level), 1 (major
#'   socio-economic regions), 2 (basic regions for the application of regional
#'   policies) or 3 (small regions).
#' * **NUTS_ID**: NUTS ID code, consisting of country code and numbers (1 for
#'   NUTS 1, 2 for NUTS 2 and 3 for NUTS 3)
#' * **CNTR_CODE**: Country code: two-letter ISO code (ISO 3166 alpha-2), except
#'   in the case of Greece (EL).
#' * **NAME_LATN**: NUTS name in local language, transliterated to Latin script
#' * **NUTS_NAME**: NUTS name in local language, in local script.
#' * **MOUNT_TYPE**: Mountain typology for NUTS 3 regions.
#'   * 1: "where more than 50 % of the surface is covered by topographic
#'     mountain areas"
#'   * 2: "in which more than 50 % of the regional population lives in
#'     topographic mountain areas"
#'   * 3: "where more than 50 % of the surface is covered by topographic
#'     mountain areas and where more than 50 % of the regional population lives
#'     in these mountain areas"
#'   * 4: non-mountain region / other region
#'   * 0: no classification provided (e.g. in the case of NUTS 1 and NUTS 2 and
#'     non-EU countries)
#' * **URBN_TYPE**: Urban-rural typology for NUTS 3 regions.
#'   * 1: predominantly urban region
#'   * 2: intermediate region
#'   * 3: predominantly rural region
#'   * 0: no classification provided (e.g. in the case of NUTS 1 and NUTS 2
#'     regions)
#' * **COAST_TYPE**: Coastal typology for NUTS 3 regions.
#'   * 1: coastal (on coast)
#'   * 2: coastal (>= 50% of population living within 50km of the coastline)
#'   * 3: non-coastal region
#'   * 0: no classification provided (e.g. in the case of NUTS 1 and NUTS 2
#'     regions)
#' * **FID**: Same as NUTS_ID.
#' * **geo**: Same as NUTS_ID, added for for easier joins with dplyr. However,
#'   it is recommended to use other identical fields for this purpose.
#' * **geometry**: geospatial information.
