5-digit postcode map of The Netherlands
The 5-digit postcode map of the Netherlands is composed of areas whereby the five first characters per area are the same. The areas are generated automatically within the 'natural’ 4-digit postcode boundaries.
Version 2008
The total number of 5-digit postcode areas is 32,083 in 2008. As is the case in the 4-digit postcode data set The Netherlands, no post office boxes are included in the 5-digit postcode data set The Netherlands either. The 2008 version is prepared with the aid of the postcodes of Falkplan•Andes.

Generated areas
The 5-digit postcode areas are automatically generated areas. This option was chosen because the postcode points of which the first 5 digits are the same, are not always located nearby. When 6-digit postcodes are combined into PC5-areas, it becomes clear that many PC5-areas are composed of several ‘islands’. This provides an untidy map image. This is why Geodan has developed a 5-digit postcode area map, in which the PC5-areas are generated automatically around the central point of the true PC5-points. This generates a schematically structured PC5-area map that is apt for showing the data from a thematic viewpoint.
