Maps of Sweden in GeoParquet for easy usage.

swemaps

Maps of Sweden in GeoParquet for easy usage.

The parquets have been created from files published by Statistics Sweden and The Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth. Maps include counties, municipalities and FA regions. The original geometries have been transformed from SWEREF 99 TM to WGS 84 for better out of the box compatibility with different tools. The column names have also been somewhat sanitized (e.g. KnKod -> kommun_kod).

The package gets you the file path so that you can load it with your prefered tool, for example PyArrow or GeoPandas. An extra convenience function is included to quickly convert an Arrow tabular object (such as a PyArrow table) to GeoJSON.

Made for Python with inspiration from swemaps2.

Municipalities and counties

Municipalities	Counties

PyArrow example with Plotly

>>> import plotly.express as px
>>> import pyarrow.parquet as pq
>>> import swemaps

# Load the map for the specified type
>>> kommuner = pq.read_table(swemaps.get_path("kommun"))

>>> kommuner.column_names
['kommun_kod', 'kommun', 'geometry']

# The convenience function returns GeoJSON from a PyArrow table object
>>> geojson = swemaps.table_to_geojson(kommuner)

# Here's a dataframe with municipalities and some random values that we can plot
>>> df.head()
shape: (5, 2)
┌──────────┬───────┐

# Use Plotly to create a choropleth using the dataframe and GeoJSON
>>> fig = px.choropleth(
        df,
        geojson=geojson,
        color="Value",
        locations="Kommun",
        featureidkey="properties.kommun",
        projection="mercator",
        color_continuous_scale="Viridis",
        fitbounds="locations",
        basemap_visible=False,
    )

You might want to subset the map of municipalities for a specific county or a group of counties. Since the geometry is loaded as a PyArrow table the filter operation is straightforward.

>>> import pyarrow.compute as pc

>>> kommuner.schema 

kommun_kod: string
kommun: string
geometry: binary
  -- field metadata --
  ARROW:extension:metadata: '{"crs":{"$schema":"https://proj.org/schemas/' + 1296
  ARROW:extension:name: 'geoarrow.wkb'
-- schema metadata --
geo: '{"version":"1.1.0","primary_column":"geometry","columns":{"geometry' + 1621

# County code for Skåne is 12
>>> kommuner = kommuner.filter(pc.starts_with(pc.field("kommun_kod"), "12"))

>>> geojson = swemaps.table_to_geojson(kommuner)

You could also use list comprehension on the GeoJSON to filter it.

>>> geojson["features"] = [
        feature
        for feature in geojson["features"]
        if feature["properties"]["kommun_kod"].startswith("12")
        ]

Anyway, now we can plot Skåne.

>>> skane = px.choropleth(
        df,
        geojson=geojson,
        color="Value",
        locations="Kommun",
        featureidkey="properties.kommun",
        projection="mercator",
        color_continuous_scale="Viridis",
        fitbounds="locations",
        basemap_visible=False,
        title="Skåne municipalities"
    )

skane.show()

GeoPandas example

Another possibility is to load the GeoParquet into a GeoDataFrame.

>>> import geopandas as gpd

>>> gdf = gpd.GeoDataFrame.read_parquet(swemaps.get_path("lan"))

>>> gdf.head()

lan_kod            lan                                           geometry
0      01     Stockholms  MULTIPOLYGON (((17.24034 59.24219, 17.28475 59...
1      03        Uppsala  MULTIPOLYGON (((17.36606 59.61224, 17.35475 59...
2      04  Södermanlands  MULTIPOLYGON (((15.95815 58.96497, 15.8613 58....
3      05  Östergötlands  MULTIPOLYGON (((14.93369 58.13112, 14.89472 58...
4      06     Jönköpings  MULTIPOLYGON (((14.98311 57.9345, 15.00458 57....

# And with matplotlib installed as well we can have quick look
>>> gdf.plot()
