In order to create a new GeoPack the data will need to be submitted to Yellowfin for pack generation. This page will explore the files that are required to create GeoPacks.GeoPacks require the following files These include:



  1. A CSV file for each level of the geographical hierarchy in the pack, containing geometry and aliases.
  2. A CSV file containing demographic names and values for the lowest level of the geographical hierarchy. (You only need the lowest level, as Yellowfin will automatically aggregate these values up if higher levels are used instead)
  3. A metadata file specifying how the CSVs link together.
