Global Delivery Indicator
The Global Delivery Indicator (GDI) is a software feature designed to identify whether an address is deliverable and/or mailable. This feature is essential for ensuring that addresses are validated for delivery purposes, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of mail and package delivery services.

| 4 | Address is Mailable, but not Locatable. This could also be military bases or PO Boxes. |
| 5 | New Construction/Not Yet Built (known address that is platted, but not built or amid construction). It is Locatable, but net yet Mailable. |
| 6 |
Address is Vacant – Locatable & Empty (empty plot of land) |
| 7 | Historical Address (known as “gone-away” address) |
| 9 |
