spd_user_type, a derived column of the same row spd_user_type with LinkedSmallUserPostcode, identifies a PO box the row itself
SPD/spd_postcodeindex_cut_26_2_csv/LargeUser.csv (pinned, SHA256 dcb060cbce01…) LinkedSmallUserPostcode NO LINKP marks a PO box, whose grid reference is the sorting office: its codes are cleared and its status is po_box the row itself
data.gov.uk/SG_UrbanRural_2007_2008/SG_UrbanRural_2007_2008.shp (pinned, SHA256 305899304c3c…) polygon geometry the polygon containing the point the row itself
data.gov.uk/SG_UrbanRural_2007_2008/SG_UrbanRural_2007_2008.shx (pinned, SHA256 4872b17b3a5e…) geometry index locates each polygon in the .shp the row itself
data.gov.uk/SG_UrbanRural_2007_2008/SG_UrbanRural_2007_2008.prj (pinned, SHA256 d97d27668037…) coordinate reference system British National Grid, the grid reference's system the row itself

Scope: the row itself.

What was done to it: placed. Why the version has no code: outside_polygons (the point is in no polygon), ambiguous_polygons (on an edge between two classes) or po_box (a large user linked NO LINKP); null when it has one. (code: simd_ingest/core/rurality.py: classify, place, attach_rurality, is_po_box)

How it is checked (what each check tests; whether a build passed it is in that build's manifest.json["checks"])

  • rurality.2007-2008.columns_present: the shapefile carries the declared 6-fold and 8-fold columns
  • rurality.2007-2008.polygons: the shapefile has the declared number of polygons
  • rurality.2007-2008.reference_system: the shapefile is in British National Grid
  • rurality.2007-2008.folds_nest: the 6-fold is exactly the official collapse of the 8-fold
  • rurality.points_present: the records to place carry grid references
  • readback.history.rurality_values: every point is placed again from the saved file's grid references and equal
