Location codes indicate the locational accuracy of the assigned geocode.
Note: An accurately placed candidate is not necessarily an ideal candidate.
Examine the match codes and/or result codes in addition to location codes to best
evaluate the overall quality of the candidate.
The location
section of the Geo Addressing SDK output,
returns additional details about the type,
description, or designation of the address.
Type | Explanation |
---|---|
ADDRESS_POINT | Represents a location point on an addressable property. 'description' property may provide more information on the specific location. For example, it may provide more information around if the point is located on a particular structure. |
ADDRESS_INTERPOLATED | The precise location for the property is unknown. The address location is assigned based on street segment end points. |
NEAR_BY_ADDRESS | Represents a location with an assumed address property based on other addresses near it. |
STREET | Represents a location at street level. No particular address property available. |
POSTAL | Represents a location at PO BOX level or at a postal boundary
based on postal code or postal code extension. The
description and designation
field may provide more enhanced information. |
NEIGHBORHOOD | Represents a location at Neighborhood level. |
SUBURB | Represents a location at Suburb level. |
CITY | Represents a location at City level. |
ADMIN1 | Represents a location at state, province, or region level. |
ADMIN2 | Represents a location at county or district level. |
COUNTRY | Represents a location at Country level. |
UNKNOWN | Either the location is not available or the level for the location is not available. |
Description | Explanation |
---|---|
POSTAL_BUILDING | Represents a point located on an address building. and the entire postal code comprises a singular address. i.e. College campus. |
INTERSECTION | Represents a point located on a street intersection. |
STREET_BLOCK | Represents a point located on a street. 'designation' field may provide how it was derived. |
PO_BLOCK | Represents a point located on a PO_BOX |
BUILDING | Represents a point located on a building. 'designation' field may provide more enhanced information if available. |
PROJECTED_POINT | Represents a point that was projected using the centerline offset feature. You must have both a point and a street range database to use the centerline offset feature. |
POSTAL_CODE | Represents a point located in postal code boundary. 'designation' field may provide more information. |
POSTAL_CODE_EXT | Represents a point located in postal code extension boundary. 'designation' field may provide more information. |
POINT_OF_INTEREST | Represents a point located on business entity. i.e. Starbucks |
PARCEL | Represents a point located in parcel boundary. 'designation' field may provide more enhanced information if available. |
BUILDING | Represents a point located on building. 'designation' field may provide more enhanced information if available. |
FRONT_DOOR | Represents a point located on Front door of a building or structure. |
DRIVEWAY | Represents a point located on driveway. 'designation' field may provide more enhanced information if available. |
STREET_ACCESS_POINT | Represents a point located on street entrace to a prcel |
PARCEL_POINT | Represents a point located in parcel boundary. When unable to match to an input unit number, or when the unit number is missing from an address location with multiple units, the "base" parcel information is returned, the address is not standardized to a unit number, and additional information, such as an Assessor's Parcel Number, is not returned. |
BACKFILL_POINT | The precise parcel centroid is unknown. The address location assigned is based on two known parcel centroids. |
VIRTUAL_POINT | The precise parcel centroid is unknown. The address location assigned is relative to a known parcel centroid and a street segment end point. |
Designation | Explanation |
---|---|
CENTROID | The calculated centroid of a given structure or boundary. |
CALCULATED_WITH_PARCEL_AND_CENTERLINE | Point was calculated using the midpoint of a parcel's street frontage at a distance from the center line. |
CALCULATED_WITH_POINT_AND_STREET | Represents the interpolation between one point and one street segment
end point. If DATA_TYPE is USER_DATA
then user data was used for the calculation. |
CALCULATED_WITH_STREET_SEGMENTS | Represents a location that was calculated using street segments. |
CALCULATED_WITH_TWO_STREET_SEGMENTS | Represents a location that was calculated using only two street segments. |
CALCULATED_WITH_USER_DATA | Represents a location that was calculated using user data and datasets provided for address processing. |
CENTER_LINE_PROJECTED | The result is an address point that was projected using the centerline offset feature. You must have both a point and a street-range database to use the centerline offset feature. |
INTERPOLATED_INTERSECTION | Interpolated (divided-road) intersection geocode. Attempts to return a centroid for the intersection. |
MIDPOINT_BETWEEN_RANGE | The geocode is placed along a single street segment, midway between the interpolated location of the first and second input house numbers in the range. |
MODIFIED_SEGMENT_WITH_POINT | The result was generated by using address-point data to modify the candidate's segment data. |
MULTIPLE_USPS_SEGMENTS | The input range spans multiple USPS segments. The geocode is placed on the endpoint of the segment which corresponds to the first input house number, closest to the end nearest the second input house number. |
RELATIVE_TO_MULTI_PARCEL | The precise parcel centroid is unknown. The address location assigned is based on two known parcel centroids. |
RELATIVE_TO_PARCEL_AND_STREET_CENTER | The precise parcel centroid is unknown. The address location assigned is relative to a known parcel centroid and a street segment end point. |
RELATIVE_TO_STREET | Represents a point located on the primary access road (most commonly a driveway) at a perpendicular distance of between 33-98 feet (10-30 meters) from the main roadway. |
SEGMENT_WITHOUT_SHAPE | Placeholder. Used when the starting and ending points of the matched segment contain the same value and shape data is not available. |
