Use of Addressing
To develop its coding system of buildings and housing units, GASTAT works on
using a unified national coding system for addressing. This system includes more than
(7 M) national addresses managed by Saudi Post. It relies on the Geographic
Information Systems (GIS), whereas its structure was developed according to the
international coordinates system with a 1-meter accuracy. Through this system, two
layers might be built:
1. Postal codes that are based on geographical factors, population density,
borders, and road networks.
2. A layer that provides an address for each location inside the postal
codes.

Preparatory Stages of 2020 Census

• A guidebook was prepared for the populated areas according to
Saudi Arabia’s regions system; the data was processed and the
administrative regions of Saudi Arabia was documented as well.
