GeoCoding
GeoCoding adds geo location designations to lists useful for pinpointing the location of clients and prospects, determining distances from a given location, appending census data, political campaign targeting and other applications.
Simple Input Requirements >> | Output Layout & Data Definitions >>
Our one-of-a-kind GeoCoding service matches your data against a multi-tiered geo database drawn from the U.S. Census Bureau TIGER/Line Files and covers all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
Appended GeoCoding location designations include: Latitude, Longitude, State, County and Subdivision, Puerto Rico Subbarrio, Census Tract, Census Block, Census Block Group, Place, FIPS codes, Congressional District, State Legislative Districts, School Districts, Voting District, Zip Code Tabulation Areas and Urban/Rural Indicator.
We utilize an Address Range database as our primary source instead of a ZIP+4 file alone. For GeoCoding, Address Range matching is significantly more accurate because USPS ZIP+4 boundaries have no relationship with U.S. Census lines, and many ZIP+4 Codes fall into multiple census geo locations. Do not settle for less!
What else is special about our GeoCoding service? Utilizes our own sophisticated algorithmic matching logic developed over more than 20 years. To maximize results each file is checked before processing to look for problems. The input data is optimized for the best outcome.
