Venezuela Subnational Population Statistics for Administrative Levels 0-3

OCHA Venezuela provides population statistics and a gazetteer for Venezuela's administrative levels, including country, states, municipalities, and parishes. The reference year for the data is 2011, and UNFPA investigated a replacement or projection in 2021. These tables are suitable for database or GIS linkage to corresponding administrative boundary data.

Use Cases

• Link population counts to administrative boundaries based on the described GIS linkage suitability.
• Analyze population distribution across states and municipalities using the described administrative levels.
• Study demographic changes over time by comparing the 2011 reference data with other sources.

Strengths

• Data is structured for linkage with corresponding administrative boundary datasets.
• Covers four administrative levels (country, state, municipality, parish).
• Reference year 2011 is explicitly stated.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
