IZ Bratislava : Regularly updated : LAU1 dataset :

Local Administrative Units data of Visegrad countries

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 V4 dataset. Overall, we cover 733 regions which are described by 137.828 observations (panel data rows) and more than 1.760.229 data points.

This LAU dataset contains panel data on population, on age structure of inhabitants, on number and on 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.

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
