# rasterstats

Canonical: https://gisforweb.com/tools/rasterstats/

Summarize raster data over vector zones, with Python API and rio CLI subcommands.

rasterstats computes summary statistics of raster bands over vector geometries, such as the mean elevation of each polygon in a DEM. It also provides interpolated point queries for rasters that have no zonal statistics of their own, and ships as rio CLI subcommands that pipe GeoJSON between tools. Statistics are computed with Rasterio and GDAL.
