NUTS geometry for Europe

European subnational boundaries from Eurostat's GISCO service via the optional giscoR package. Nothing is bundled – the geometry is downloaded and cached by giscoR itself.

Usage

nuts_geometry(
  level = 2,
  year = 2021,
  countries = NULL,
  resolution = "60",
  projection = "equal_earth"
)

Arguments

level

NUTS level: 0 (country), 1, 2 or 3 (most detailed).

year

NUTS vintage: 2003, 2006, 2010, 2013, 2016 or 2021. Boundaries and codes are revised between vintages, which is why this is explicit – joining 2013 data to 2021 geometry silently loses regions.

countries

Optional iso3c vector to subset to.

resolution

GISCO resolution: "60" (1:60 million, default), "20", "10", "03" or "01".

projection

Projection for the result (see world_map()), or NULL for unprojected.

Value

An sf frame with nuts_id, iso3c, name, level and geometry.
