Geocode U.S. and Canadian street addresses by adding latitude/longitude coordinates

The geolocation information provided by GeoCoder helps organizations make informed decisions about risk exposure, tax jurisdictions, sales clustering, marketing segmentation, logistics, and more. Geocoder Object, available as a multiplatform API or Web service, incorporates spatial data from multiple data providers – a process called conflation – to deliver the most accurate geopoints available with more matches and fewer false positives. GeoCoder provides rooftop geopoints for 95% of all physical addresses in the U.S.

Basic GeoCoding
The Basic version of GeoCoder adds the latitude/longitude coordinates to the ZIP + 4^® level - the 9-digit postal code of an address. If the 9-digit is not available, GeoCoder will append coordinates based on (1) the ZIP+2 or (2) the 5-digit ZIP^TM.

It is recommended that prior to geocoding, you verify addresses and append ZIP + 4 codes using Address Object. Address Object validates addresses to the actual point of delivery (DPV), and also appends the delivery point – enabling the precise 11-digit geocoding available with GeoPoints.

CBSA Properties
CBSA Properties give you the Metropolitan, and Micropolitan, statistical areas. "Core Based Statistical Area" (CBSA) is a collective term for both metro and micro areas. A metro contains a core urban area of 50,000 or more population, and a micro area contains an urban core of at least 10,000 (but less than 50,000) population. Each metro or micro area consists of one or more counties and includes the counties containing the core urban area, as well as any adjacent counties that have a high degree of social and economic integration (as measured by commuting to work) with the urban core.
