irsz_2018: Postal codes and settlements (2018)

In svraka/teroszt: Data for Hungarian Administrative and Statistical Divisions

Description

A crosswalk table connecting Hungarian Postal Service's postal codes (‘irányítószám’) and the HCSO's settlement IDs.

Usage

irsz_2018

Format

A tibble with 4,405 rows, which gives a crosswalk between all the valid postal codes in the Hungarian Postal Service's database, and settlement IDs for all settlements that share a postal code.

torzsszam

The settlement's HCSO ID number (‘településazonosító törzsszám’)

telepules

Name of the settlement

irsz

Postal code

torzsszam_fo_telepules

Settlement ID number for the primary settlement using a postal code. As settlements can share postal codes, a raw crosswalk between irsz_2018 and tsz_2018 is ambiguous. Most overlaps happen in parts of settlements with low-populations in non-central, or even non–build-up areas. This column contains a unique settlement ID for each postal code belonging to the settlement most likely to be representative of that postal code. Classification is based on borough types (preferring central over, non-central) and the boroughs' population sizes.

Details

Postal codes include regular codes (used in towns and villages), street address based codes (used in cities), and codes for post offices (including mobile offices).

Note that this table links all possible postal codes to all settlements using a particular postal code. To get an unambiguous crosswalk from postal codes to settlement IDs, use get_irsz_tsz_crosswalk to aggregate this table. As postal codes can cross settlement (and district, county, and even regional) boundaries, this can lead to some misclassification.
