SMALL AREA MAPS (MICRO AREAS)

Different levels of area maps from MBI: postcode boundaries map (ZIP), administrative area map, small area map

DIGITAL SMALL AREA MAPS (MICRO AREAS) AS THE BASIS FOR YOUR DATA

Small Area Maps could be subdivisions of the postcode or administrative boundaries like census areas. Digital Small Area boundaries help you to display and analyze spatial areas on a map. They can easily be matched and attributed with company internal data (e.g. sales figures, sales areas) or SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC DATA and PURCHASING POWER data from MB-International.

Because Postcode / ZIP-code boundaries are arbitrary geographic areas designed for the convenience of postal carriers, they do not always correspond to other more meaningful boundaries, such as those of cities or towns, school districts, neighborhoods or political voting districts.

Therefore, we also offer what we call a small area dataset for many countries which are subdivisions of the postcode boundaries or administrative boundaries, e.g. census areas or street segments.

Example: In Spain are these the Census Sections (36.255 areas), a subdivision of the Municipios (8.125 areas).
