The counters provide the reporting statistics across all supported countries for which the Global Address Validation job is run.

For a list of supported countries, refer to ISO Country Codes and Coder Support. The counters available are:

Counters of Records

  • TOTAL_INPUT- The total number of input records.
  • TOTAL_COUNTRY_RECORDS- The total number of input records processed for the country listed.

Counters of Matched Elements

Counters of Confidence Levels

This section provides statistics about the number of records for each country that matched at different confidence levels.

  • CONF_LOW- The records that match at a confidence level less than 40, such as CONF_10, and CONF_20.
  • CONF_MID- The records that match at a confidence level between 40 and 85, such as CONF_50, and CONF_80.
  • CONF_HIGH- The records that match at a confidence level greater than 85, such as CONF_90, and CONF_100.
  • Confidence- The total number of records whose confidence level is checked. This value is same as the total number of records.

Precision Code Counters

This section provides statistics on the number of records in your job that matched for each precision code. The precision code describes the level of precision for each record's address match.

Precision Code Z Category

The Z category indicates that a match was made at the postal code level.
  • PRECISION_Z1- The number of records that match to the ZIP Code or postal code 1.

  • PRECISION_Z3- The number of records that match to ZIP + 4 or postal code 2.

Precision Code G Category

Geographic level candidates return a precision code beginning with the letter G. The number following the G in the precision code provides more detailed information about the accuracy of the match.
  • PRECISION_G1- The number of records that match to state/province.
  • PRECISION_G2- The number of records that match to county/region.
  • PRECISION_G3- The number of records that match to city/town.

  • PRECISION_S1- The number of records that matched to a point located at a ZIP Code.
  • PRECISION_S2- The number of records that matched to a point located at ZIP + 2.
  • PRECISION_S3- The number of records that matched to a point located at a ZIP + 4.
  • PRECISION_S4- The number of records that matched at the street level.
  • PRECISION_S5- The number of records that matched to the street address.
  • PRECISION_S6- The number of records that matched to a point located at point ZIP centroid.
  • PRECISION_S7- The number of records that matched to a street address that was interpolated between houses.
  • PRECISION_S8- The number of records that matched to the street address or house number.

Precision Code B Category

  • PRECISION_B1- The number of records that matched to an unvalidated PO Box.
  • PRECISION_B2- The number of records that matched to a validated PO Box.
