Our location dataset for Hong Kong

Hong Kong ZIP Codes

Some countries do not use ZIP or postal codes, and Hong Kong is one of them. Instead of a national postal code system, locations are identified using cities, localities, and administrative divisions. The database reflects this structure by standardizing these place-based identifiers into a unified global schema, ensuring consistent validation and reliable cross-country comparisons even in the absence of ZIP codes.

Hong Kong ZIP & Administrative boundaries

Hong Kong administrative landscape often follows inconsistent regional models and irregular public sources, making it difficult to maintain reliable boundaries. Our standardized postal and administrative boundary data resolves these gaps to ensure complete, coherent geographic coverage.

Hong Kong Administrative Divisions

GeoPostcodes provides a standardized reference for Hong Kong’s address structure, ensuring consistent, accurate, and globally aligned formatting across your systems. The dataset captures the official address elements required by the national postal operator and maps them into our unified global schema.
