Details

Note that there are a number of special ZIP Codes - e.g. 118 01 for Government of the Czech Republic (Strakova akademie / N<U+00E1>b<U+0159>e<U+017E><U+00ED> Edvarda Bene<U+0161>e 4). These are not listed here, as they do not relate to a specific delivery area but are in essence private.

The geometry type is MULTIPOLYGON, as there are a number of non continuous areas of delivery.

Due to package size constraints the data are stored externally (and a working internet connection is required to use the package).

The data is current to February 2021 (last update was in January 2020). Downloaded size of high resolution shapefile is 45 MB, size of the low res object is 2 MB.

kramarova_vila %>%
   st_join(RCzechia::zip_codes("low"), left = FALSE) %>%
   pull(PSC)
# }
