GeoPandas
Use GeoPandas for planar vector data represented as pandas-like GeoSeries and
GeoDataFrame objects. This skill targets stable GeoPandas 1.1.4 (released
2026-06-26), not the unreleased 1.2 documentation.
Reproducible environment
GeoPandas 1.1.4 requires Python 3.10+; its tagged source requires NumPy >=1.24,
pandas >=2.0, Shapely >=2.0, pyproj >=3.5, pyogrio >=0.7.2, and packaging.
This exact Python 3.12 snapshot was smoke-tested on 2026-07-23:
uv venv --python 3.12
uv pip install \
"geopandas==1.1.4" \
"numpy==2.5.1" \
"pandas==3.0.5" \
"shapely==2.1.2" \
"pyproj==3.7.2" \
"pyogrio==0.13.0" \
"pyarrow==25.0.0" \
"packaging==26.2"
Keep optional plotting and PostGIS packages pinned in the project lock as well. Do not mix binary geospatial packages from incompatible package channels.
Safety and privacy contract
- Treat exact coordinates, addresses, parcel boundaries, trajectories, and small-area joins as sensitive. Default reports to counts, categories, coarse extents, and redacted identifiers. Generalize before publication.
- Never automatically load a URL, cloud URI, GDAL
/vsi*path, archive, or geocode an address…
