Precision - 23.1

To include the precision code in the output, select the Precision output option.

One of the following PrecisionCode strings describes the precision of the address match.

Z category

The matches in the Z category indicate that a match was made at the postal code level.

Z1

Match to ZIP Code™ or postal code 1.

Z2

Match to ZIP + 2 or partial match to postal code 2.

Z3

Match to ZIP + 4® or postal code 2.

G category

The matches in the G category indicate that the record was matched to an area name.

G1

Match to state/province (area name 1).

G2

Match to country/region (area name 2).

G3

Match to city/town (area name 3).

G4

Match to suburb/village (area name 4).

B category

The matches in the B category indicate that the record was matched to a PO Box.

B1

Matched to an unvalidated PO Box. Although there is enough information in the record to identify this as a PO Box, not enough information exists to determine whether the PO Box number is valid.

B2

Matched to a validated PO Box.

S category

The matches in the S category indicate that the record was matched to a single address candidate.

S0

Single match; however, no coordinates are available. This is a very rare occurrence. Parts of the address may have matched the source data.

S1

Single match to a ZIP Code™ or postal code 1 level. This is the same quality match as a Z1 result.

S2

Single match to a ZIP + 2 or partial match to postal code 2 level. This is the same quality match as a Z2 result.

S3

Single match to a ZIP + 4® or postal code 2 level. This is the same quality match as a Z3 result.

S4

Single match at the street level.

S5

Single match to the street address. Because only the street segment data is available, the interpolation is not as accurate as an S7 return. The S5 code is followed by letters and dashes indicating match precision.

S6

Single match to a point located at a ZIP centroid.

S7

Single match to a street address that was interpolated between houses.

S8

Single match to the street address or house number.

SC

Single match at the house-level that has been projected from the nearest segment.

SG

Single match with point at the center of a locality (areaName3) or Locality level geocode derived from topographic feature. An SG result code is associated with GNAF Reliability Level 5 (locality or neighborhood) or with Level 6 (unique region). (Australia addresses only.)

SL

Single match to a sublocality (block or sector) street level match. An SL result code also requires a match on other geographic input fields (city, district, or state). (India addresses only.)

SX

Single match to a point located at a street intersection.

For S (street matched) precision codes, eight additional characters describe how closely the address matches an address in the database. The characters appear in the order shown.

For example, the result code S5-N-SCZA represents a single match that matched the street name, street suffix direction, town, and postal code. The dashes indicate that there was no match on house number, street prefix direction, or thoroughfare type. The match came from the Street Range Address database. This record would be matched at the street address level of the match candidate.

H

House number match.

P

Street prefix (pre-directional). P is present if any of these conditions are satisfied:

• The candidate pre-directional matches the input pre-directional.
• The candidate post-directional matches the input pre-directional after pre- and post-directionals are swapped.
• The input does not have a pre-directional.

N

Street name match.

T

Street/thoroughfare type match.

S

Street suffix (post-directional).

• The candidate post-directional matches the input post-directional.
• The candidate pre-directional matches the input post-directional after pre- and post-directionals are swapped.
• The input does not have a post-directional.

C

City or town name.

Z

Postal code match.

A

Addressing dataset match.

U

Custom user dictionary match.
