Ukraine Administrative Boundaries: 4 Levels from Oblast to Settlement

Ukraine administrative level 0-4 boundaries (COD-AB) dataset version 05. The dataset contains 27 oblasts, 139 raions, 1,769 hromadas, and 29,706 settlements with partial coverage. It was contributed by OCHA Ukraine, quality assured by OCHA FIS and HDX, and was reviewed for accuracy on 18 December 2025.

Use Cases

• Create administrative maps for Ukraine based on the four hierarchical levels (oblast, raion, hromada, settlement).
• Conduct spatial analysis for humanitarian response planning using the community (hromada) and settlement boundaries.
• Perform demographic or resource allocation studies aggregated by the district (raion) level.
• Integrate administrative units into larger geospatial analyses as part of the Global Subnational Administrative Boundaries collection.

Strengths

• Contains 29,706 populated places (settlements) at the most granular level.
• Structured into four clear administrative levels with defined counts: 27 oblasts, 139 raions, and 1,769 hromadas.
• Quality assured and published by authoritative humanitarian data organizations (OCHA FIS, HDX).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Settlement (Admin 4) coverage is noted as partial, which may affect completeness for some analyses.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
