How to load data in GeoPandas¶

• Order data for your area of interest in GeoPackage format.

• Go to the orders page and download the archive when it’s complete.

• Unpack the archive.

• Find out a name and a path to the target layer. For example: municipal boundaries (boundary-polygon-lvl6)

• Install and import geopandas in Python.

Showing the map:

import geopandas
boundaries = geopandas.read_file("/tmp/data/boundary-polygon-lvl6.shp")
boundaries.plot(column="oktmo")

Calculate areas:

boundaries["AREA"] = boundaries.to_crs("EPSG:32637").area / 10 ** 6
boundaries[["NAME_EN", "AREA"]].dropna()
