Result Indicators

Indicates the confidence in the output provided; from 0 to 100. The higher the score, the higher the confidence in the match. Calculated based on the match results for individual output fields, using the following algorithm:

Census.MatchCode + LatLong.StreetMatchCode + LatLong.MatchCode

The maximum confidence score is 100, so if this calculation results in a value greater than 100, the Confidence score is returned as 100.

The following values are used:

• Census.MatchCode
  • A = 85
  • G = 85
  • S = 85
  • U = 85
  • 9 = 65
  • 5 = 45
  • null = 0

Indicates the confidence surface type. Setting a non-zero buffer width enables confidence generation. To determine a confidence level, a confidence surface is first generated. The confidence surface provides the smallest possible area wherein an address is likely to be located.

3

Interpolated street segment.

4

Point-level match.

5
