Kenya County Boundaries

The dataset serves as a comprehensive geospatial reference for Kenya's 47 administrative counties.
Each entry links standardized county codes and ISO shapes to specific geographic polygon data and area calculations.
There is a high variance in county size, with the largest county spanning 75,926.7 km² and the smallest covering only 226.8 km².
The average area per county is approximately 12,572 square kilometers, though the distribution is heavily skewed by several vast arid counties.
The inclusion of WKT geometry strings allows for immediate integration into Geographic Information Systems or mapping software.
All 47 counties are represented, suggesting complete coverage with no missing records for the standard administrative units.
The geographic complexity varies significantly across records, as evidenced by the high variability in the character length of the geometry strings.
This data can be used to visualize the territorial size distribution of Kenya's counties on a choropleth map.
These records allow for the calculation of population density if merged with secondary demographic census datasets.
Researchers can use these boundary files to perform spatial proximity analysis between different administrative jurisdictions.
