Confidence^*	4	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 5 = 45 9 = 75 A = 85 C = 55 F = 45 G = 85 I = 85 L = 85 M = 0 O = 85 P = 100 S = 85 U = 85 X = 0 null = 0
		LatLong.StreetMatchCode H = 5 L = 15 S = -10 Z = -5 null = 0
		LatLong.MatchCode 2 = 0 4 = 10 B = 0 C = 0 I = 10 L = 15 O = 15 R = 15 S = -10 T = -2 U = 15 Z = -5 null = -100

This output field returns the result for a comparison between the matched address point to the polygon defined by the Cousub.txb file. For more information on buffers, see Buffering. Note: The buffer distance for Cousub.txb is internally set to zero and cannot be modified. P The point is in the polygon. I The point is in the buffer area inside the polygon. B The point is in the buffer area and outside of the polygon. blank Polygon not found.
