Features

Features are objects that have geometry (polygon, point, etc.) and data (population, area).

The US Census county "Orange County, CA" is an example of a Mapfluence feature.

Built-in Fields

Every feature in the Mapfluence database has the following fields:

name description example
id the feature's unique identifier 79284
name the feature's common name San Francisco
area the area in square meters 6023498.32748
centroid the point centroid of the feature's geometry POINT(0 0)
country country United States
admin1 first sub-national administrative jurisdiction California, British Columbia, or Burgundy
population the number of people associated with a particular geometric element 54872

Note that some fields are not defined for some features. For example, point features do not have population, and national boundaries do not have admin1.
