Definition: Geocoded statistics

Category: Land Use/Land Cover

In general all statistics are somehow geocoded meaning that they are referred to a regional reference system using alphanumerical codes of areas or locations (e.g. names, numbers): National Data refer to a whole country, regional data refer to smaller areas (mostly administrative regions, like the European NUTS regions, divided in 3 levels). http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/statmanuals/files/KS-34-00-407-__-I-EN.pdf#page=86
