Region

A region is a higher-level administrative division within a country, used to organise territory. In business databases, this field helps structure company locations consistently and enables geographic segmentation.

What is it?

The Region field within a company’s address represents the main administrative subdivision of a country. Depending on the country, this division is defined differently:

• In Spain, it refers to Autonomous Communities.
• In France, it refers to Régions.
• In Italy, it refers to Regioni.
• In Mexico, it refers to States.

This data point is essential for regional classification and company distribution analysis.
