Administrative, postal and statistical areas
PTV Logistics can provide you with the boundaries of different classification levels for a wide variety of marketing, planning and structuring purposes.
All our digital boundaries can also be combined and refined with numerous other data from our range.
PTV Admin Boundaries
For a clear and informative map representation of regional connections and relationships, the administrative boundaries are often crucial. The most commonly used are political administrative boundaries such as state, district, county or municipal boundaries. These administrative boundaries are distinctive in their division, allocation and designation in each country.
The boundaries of administrative units for each application are available for all countries worldwide with PTV Admin Boundaries.
PTV PLZ8 Germany
PTV PLZ8 Germany is a small-scale division of areas into mutually comparable sections. This enables us to offer a breakdown of areas which is not only more small-scale than the official postcode areas, but also much more homogeneous due to the grouping of approximately 500 households in each area.
For many small-scale observations in marketing, planning and structuring tasks, but also for the distribution of advertising materials, they are much more suitable than the official postal areas, which are less finely structured and often not comparable with one another. They are particularly popular in address-based geomarketing and in the visualization of sales planning and sales territories.
PTV Postcode Boundaries
For effective location planning and successful sales management, postal boundaries are often crucial. The five-digit postcode boundaries are therefore among the most widely used area boundaries. PTV Postcode Boundaries contains them for the whole of Europe and for many other countries.
Like the administrative boundaries, the PTV Postcode Boundaries can also be enhanced with a wide range of demographic data from the PTV Logistics range.
KGS14PLZ
The KGS14PLZ data set combines the official and the postal structures and adds a finely detailed level with a comparable number of households.
A uniform finely detailed area structure has been created with the combination of district-municipality key and postcode being divided into homogeneous areas with an average of 400 households. With more than 100,000 area units in Germany, the area key is finely detailed, while still being easy to handle.
