Datasets:
Municipality Boundaries (Maps)
Overview
This directory contains the administrative boundary polygons for Bolivia's 339 municipalities, used by the spatial/ESDA notebooks (Moran's I, LISA, choropleths).
Every feature is keyed on asdf_id, the universal join key used across all datasets in this project, so any tabular file in data/ can be merged onto these geometries for mapping.
Files
| File | Features | Properties | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
bolivia339geoqueryOpt.geojson |
339 | asdf_id, shapeName, COORD_X, COORD_Y |
Web-optimized boundaries (simplified geometry + centroid coordinates). Preferred for interactive maps and most analysis. |
bolivia339geoqueryFull.geojson |
339 | asdf_id |
Full-resolution boundaries (detailed geometry, larger file). Use when maximum geometric precision is required. |
archive/ |
— | — | Superseded boundary versions, kept for provenance. Local-only — not mirrored to Hugging Face. |
Variable Dictionary
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| asdf_id | Unique spatial identifier (0–338) for joining to every other dataset in data/. |
| shapeName | Municipality name (present in the optimized file). |
| COORD_X | Municipality centroid longitude (present in the optimized file). |
| COORD_Y | Municipality centroid latitude (present in the optimized file). |
Example Code
import geopandas as gpd
import pandas as pd
# Load the (web-optimized) municipality boundaries
gdf = gpd.read_file("bolivia339geoqueryOpt.geojson")
# Attach any indicator and make a choropleth
sdg = pd.read_csv("../sdg/sdg.csv")
gdf = gdf.merge(sdg[["asdf_id", "index_sdg1"]], on="asdf_id")
gdf.plot(column="index_sdg1", legend=True)
Access via Hugging Face
The two GeoJSON boundary files are mirrored to the public Hugging Face dataset
cmg777/project2026e.
(The archive/ folder is local-only and is not on the Hub.)

Load in Python (pick any one):
# 1) Project helper — local-first, falls back to the Hub (code/hf_data.py)
import sys, geopandas as gpd
sys.path.append("code") # add the repo-root "code" folder to the path
from hf_data import data_path
gdf = gpd.read_file(data_path("maps/bolivia339geoqueryOpt.geojson"))
# 2) Direct download from the Hub
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
path = hf_hub_download("cmg777/project2026e", repo_type="dataset",
filename="maps/bolivia339geoqueryOpt.geojson")
gdf = gpd.read_file(path)
The
datasetslibrary'sload_dataset()targets the tabular CSV files in this repository; for GeoJSON geometry usegeopandaswith either helper above.
Join Key
Use asdf_id to join these geometries with any dataset in data/ (e.g. sdg/sdg.csv, sdgVariables/sdgVariables.csv, satelliteEmbeddings/, nighttimeLights/).
