Barrios and Veredas of Guaviare Department with Urban-Rural Classification

Barrios y Veredas del Departamento del Guaviare lists neighborhoods and rural hamlets in Colombia's Guaviare department. The dataset includes classification by urban or rural zone and municipal affiliation. It is published by www.datos.gov.co and was last updated in December 2025.

Use Cases

• Map the distribution of localities using the 'Zona de ubicación' (urban/rural) and 'Municipio al que pertenece' columns.
• Analyze administrative hierarchies by linking 'Nombre del barrio o vereda' to its parent 'Código del Municipio'.
• Classify settlements for resource allocation studies based on the 'Clasificación' field.
• Create a geospatial inventory of populated places in Guaviare by integrating this list with coordinate data.

Strengths

• Data covers both urban ('barrios') and rural ('veredas') administrative units.
• Includes five distinct columns for classification and hierarchical linking.

Limitations

• The total number of records (rows) is unknown, preventing assessment of completeness.
• Sample data is unavailable, making initial data quality checks impossible.
