  • P-codes are OCHA identifiers, not a Nepali government standard. They are recorded as source identifiers against canonical places rather than used as canonical identity.
  • Models 775 units at admin level 3, of which 22 are protected areas rather than local units. Excluding them gives Nepal's official 753.
  • English names only; the source publishes no Nepali names.
  • Published by OCHA Field Information Services Section; DataNepal obtained this copy via the hdx platform. Attribute the publisher, not the platform.

  • Figures for 2023 are projections, not census counts. Nepal's most recent census was 2021 (29,164,578). Never present projections as census results.
  • Coverage stops at district level; there is no local-unit breakdown.
  • The open-ended top age band is spelled '80Plus' in current files and '80PL' in others. Ingestion accepts both and asserts the measure count per place.
  • Published by UNFPA; DataNepal obtained this copy via the hdx platform. Attribute the publisher, not the platform.

  • Chosen over OpenStreetMap on licensing grounds, not coverage. OSM carries Nepali names for ~55% of units but is ODbL, whose share-alike terms would propagate to every table this fed.
  • Covers ~66% of local units. Typing is inconsistent: metropolitan cities are often modelled as the city rather than the administrative unit.
  • Community-maintained, so names are not authoritative.

  • The World Bank restates figures as national accounts are revised. The API exposes a lastupdated date per indicator, which is recorded as the publication date of each observation so revisions are traceable.
  • National level only. These are compiled from Nepali official statistics (largely NRB and the National Statistics Office); the World Bank is the aggregator, not the primary collector.
  • Inflation and per-capita figures are rates and ratios. They must never be summed or averaged across places or periods without weighting.
