# 澳大利亚邮政标准邮编数据集（Australia Post's Standard Postcode Data）

澳大利亚邮政（Australia Post）标准邮编数据集收录了各类地区与邮编的列表，并附带关联的邮政类型分类。

- **邮编（Postcode）**：澳大利亚邮政为高效分拣与投递邮件所分配并使用的唯一4位数字标识符。其数值范围为0000至9999，需保留前置零，因此该字段被归类为字母数字型（X）。
- **地区（Locality）**：分为地理型与非地理型两类。地理型地区通常为经政府公告划定的边界区域，由政府机构分配；非地理型地区或邮政地区则由澳大利亚邮政分配。
- **州/领地（State）**：通常指该地区实际所在的州或领地。

地区相关附加信息：主要适用于邮政地区。

邮编分类说明：
• 投递区域（Delivery Area）：适用于街道地址，亦可包含邮政信箱
• 内部邮政信箱（Post Office Boxes - Internal）：供内部使用的邮政信箱
• LVR：供内部使用的大批量收件接收方（Internal Use Large Volume Receiver）
