Frequently Asked Questions

What file formats are included in my download?

Your download includes the administrative boundaries in both ESRI Shapefile (.shp) and GeoPackage (.gpkg) formats. If you need the data in alternative formats (such as GeoJSON, Excel, or PostgreSQL import files), please contact us at [email protected].

What coordinate reference system (projection) is used?

All boundary files are delivered in the standard WGS 84 (EPSG:4326) geographic coordinate system.

What software can I use to open these files?

The datasets are provided in standard geospatial formats and are fully compatible with all major GIS platforms, including QGIS, ArcGIS, MapInfo, as well as business intelligence tools like Tableau, Power BI, and spatial databases like PostGIS.

Where is the boundary geometry sourced from?

Our high-precision polygon boundaries are derived from reliable OpenStreetMap (OSM) data, ensuring they are accurate, up-to-date, and suitable for geospatial mapping and territorial analysis.

Does this dataset include demographic data?

Yes, this specific dataset integrates base demographics data (such as total population) natively sourced from official national statistical institutes. You can view the specific population vintage and source in the "Key Features" section above. For more granular demographic data (age, gender, households), please check out our detailed Geodemographics Datasets linked in the related resources.

Can I upgrade to the full country hierarchy later?

Absolutely! If you realize you need seamless drill-downs to other administrative levels, you can explore our All-in-One Administrative Boundaries package for Norway, which contains the complete hierarchy.

Need the data in another format?

We can deliver this dataset in alternative formats upon request (GeoJSON, Shapefile, Excel, PostgreSQL import files, etc.). Contact us at [email protected].
