What is the geocoding accuracy?

We generally return two types of geocoding results, Rooftop / Parcel Geocoding and Street Interpolation Geocoding. (The other types are based on postal/zip codes, city/neighborhood names, ip addresses, etc).

• Rooftop / Parcel Geocoding is the most precise Geocoding methodology because it returns an exact match to a single address point (normally placed at the center of the "roof" of the property/parcel, hence "Rooftop".)
• Street Interpolation Geocoding works by estimating a location in a known address range, a method also known as address intepolation. The geocoding algorithm matches an address to a street and a specific segment then interpolates the position within that segment. Since this is an approximation, this method is generally less accurate than the "Rooftop" method.

As of Feb 11, 2020 over 70% of the geocoding requests we receive return Rooftop results with Confidence Score = 1.
Interpolated results have a maximum Confidence Score of 0.9.
for Example:

1. 2525 Olympic ST, SPRINGFIELD, OR 97477 (Rooftop)
2. 2524 Olympic ST, SPRINGFIELD, OR 97477 (Interpolated)
