spData (version 2.0.1)

congruent: Datasets to illustrate the concept of spatial congruence

Description

Sample of old (incongruent) and new (congruent) administrative zones from UK statistical agencies

Usage

congruent

Format

Simple feature geographic data in a projected CRS (OSGB) with random values assigned for teaching purposes.
