title: LAU1 dataset

description: Statistical open data on LAU regions of Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary (and other countries in the future). LAU1 regions are called counties, okres, okresy, powiat, járás, járási, NUTS4, LAU, Local Administrative Units, ... and there are 733 of them in this dataset. Overall, we cover 733 regions which are described by 135.276 observations (panel data rows) and more than 1.291.062 data points.

This LAU dataset contains panel data on population, age structure of inhabitants, on number and structure of registered unemployed. Dataset prepared by Michal Páleník. Output files are in json, shapefiles, xls, ods, json, topojson or CSV formats. Downloadable at zenodo.org.

This dataset consists of:



data on unemployment (by gender, education and duration of unemployment),

open data on population in Visegrad counties (by age and gender),

data on unemployment share.


Combined latest dataset



dataset of the latest available data on unemployment and population

dataset includes map contours (shp, topojson or geojson format), relation id in OpenStreetMap, wikidata entry code,

it also includes NUTS4 code, LAU1 code used by national statistical office and abbreviation of the region (usually license plate),

source of map contours is OpenStreetMap, licensed under ODbL

no time series, only most recent data on population and unemployment combined in one output file

Notes



more examples at www.iz.sk

NUTS4 / LAU1 / LAU codes for HU and PL are created by me, so they can (and will) change in the future; CZ and SK NUTS4 codes are used by local statistical offices, so they should be more stable

NUTS4 codes are consistent with NUTS3 codes used by Eurostat

local_lau variable is an identifier used by local statistical office

abbr is abbreviation of region's name, used for map purposes (usually cars' license plate code; except for Hungary)

wikidata is code used by wikidata

osm_id is region's relation number in the OpenStreetMap database
