One of the examples in the package
A layered SVG coloured from a table with a few lines of plain JavaScript: every entity is a path whose id is its official code. The page shows a part of the country: the two levels share the same borders, so they fit without gaps. The package has every entity of every level.
Harju County: its municipalities, coloured by area, among the neighbouring counties.
What is in the package
Levels and identifiers
| Level | Entities | Identifier |
|---|---|---|
| country | 1 | EE |
| counties | 15 | EE-P-<official code> |
| municipalities | 78 | EE-M-<official code> |
| settlements | 4,715 | EE-L-<official code> |
Every entity has the same identifier in every file: it is the feature id in GeoJSON and TopoJSON, the id of the path in SVG and the id column of the tables.
Formats and scales
| Format | full | 100m | 1km | 10km | light |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GeoJSON | 74.6 MB | 5.4 MB | 2.0 MB | 8 KB | 616 KB |
| TopoJSON | 11.4 MB | 2.2 MB | 1.5 MB | 5 KB | 358 KB |
| Shapefile | 60.3 MB | 4.3 MB | 1.5 MB | 6 KB | 499 KB |
| SVG | - | 5.4 MB | 1.8 MB | 8 KB | 637 KB |
full: the boundaries as published by the source.100m: simplified within 100 m and coherent: settlements, municipalities and counties share exactly the same border vertices.1km: simplified within 1 km and coherent like100m, every level: the whole country on a web map.10km: simplified within 10 km and coherent, country and counties only: small maps and maps of many countries.light: country and counties only, each level simplified on its own to a small file.- GeoJSON: one FeatureCollection per level, WGS84. TopoJSON: all the levels in one topology, shared borders are shared arcs.
- GeoPackage:
data/geopackage/ee.gpkg(73.9 MB), one file for QGIS and ArcGIS with every level at every scale as a layer (municipalities_100m) with its spatial index, and every table of the package. - Shapefile: one per level and scale, WGS84, UTF-8; the columns longer than ten characters are shortened (
region,province,abbrev). - SVG: one file per level and one with every level as a layer, in a Lambert conformal conic projection; they open as layers in Illustrator, Figma and Inkscape.
- SQL: a script for PostGIS, one for MySQL 8 and one for SQL Server (5.5 MB each). It creates one table with every entity of every level, its
100mboundary in WGS84 and its indexes. - JSON:
data/json/tree.json(387 KB), the levels nested and sorted by name, without boundaries: what the select boxes of a form need.

CSV, UTF-8. Names in EN, IT, ES, FR, DE, NL, PT, besides the official one.

|
tables/changes.csv |
0 |
What changed from one edition of the package to the next, one row per entity added, removed, renamed, moved or with a new boundary: the same as CHANGELOG.md.
