International Street Geocoding Result Codes (S Codes)
Street level geocoded candidates return a result code beginning with the letter S. The second character in the code indicates the positional accuracy of the resulting point for the geocoded record.
| S Result Code | Description |
|---|---|
| S1 | Single close match with the point located at postal code centroid. For Canada, this is an FSA centroid. For Japan, S1 indicates that the candidate matched to prefecture, but not to anything more precise. |
| S2 | Single close match, point located at ZIP+2 centroid. (USA only) For Japan, S2 indicates that the candidate matched to prefecture and city, but not to anything more precise. |
| S3 | Single close match with the point located at postal code centroid. For Canada, this is an FSALDU centroid. For Japan, S3 indicates that the candidate matched to prefecture, city, and municipality subdivision (such as chome, oaza). |
| S4 | Single close match with the point located at the street centroid. For databases vintage 2014 Q4 or newer, the input house number is returned with the candidate even if no such house number was found. The S4 code is followed by letters and dashes indicating match precision. For Japan, S4 indicates that the candidate matched to prefecture, city, municipality subdivision, and subarea, but not to anything more precise.See Interpreting S Result Codes |
| S5 | Single close match with the point located at a street address position. For Japan, S5 indicates that the candidate matched block but the lot was not provided on input. The S5 code is followed by letters and dashes indicating match precision. For information about these letters, see Interpreting S Result Codes. |
| S6 | Single close match with the point located at centroid of geometry postal code. (For example, large buildings having their own codes.) |
| S7 | Single match with the point located at an interpolated point along the candidate's street segment. When the potential candidate is not an address point candidate and there are no exact house number matches among other address point candidates, the S7 result is returned using address point interpolation. The point is interpolated according to the next highest or lowest address point candidate that both intersects the segment and whose house number is contained within the range of houses of the original candidate. By using known address reference points on the street segment, the S7 point can be adjusted to a more accurate position. For Japan, S7 indicates that the candidate matched block but the lot was not provided. In these cases, the block includes the building number so a lot number is not needed. For Australia, the S7-------G result code is also used for single matches with G-NAF Reliability level of 3. The reliability level is returned in the output field AUS.GNAF_Reliability. For more information, see Australia G-NAF Database Output |
| S8 | Single close match with the point located at either the single
point associated with an address point candidate or at an address
point candidate that shares the same house number. No interpolation
is required. S8 returns are possible with point databases only. For Australia, the S8-------G result code is also used for single matches with G-NAF Reliability levels of 1or 2 (the highest level of G-NAF Reliability. The reliability level is returned in the output field AUS.GNAF_Reliability. For Japan, S8 indicates that the candidate matched to a sub blocklot number (pin point). |
| S0 | single match, no coordinates available (very rare occurrence). |
| SG | For Australia, single close match with the point at the center of a locality, or Locality level geocode derived from topographic feature. An SG-------G result code is associated with G-NAF Reliability Level 5 (locality or neighborhood) or with Level 6 (unique region). The reliability level is returned in the output field AUS.GNAF_Reliability. For more information, see Australia G-NAF Database Output. |
| SP | For Australia, single close match to a postal (PO Box) location. This can be generated from the Street Range Address database only (not the G-NAF database). |
| SL | Sublocality. The SL result code is used for India only. This indicates a sublocality (block or sector) street level match. An SL result code also requires a match on other geographic input fields (city, district, or state). |
| SX | Single close match with the point located at street intersection. |
