Jurisdiction geometry data structure
Although the jurisdiction geography could have been integrated directly in the jurisdiction resource, this data can easily take several kilobytes or even megabytes for complex countries/states, so we include it as a separate resource.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| geography | Geospatial | Mandatory Boundaries of the jurisdiction; a Polygon or MultiPolygon. |
