Our Eagle Geocoding Technology uses postal address standardization software which is CASS-certified , indicating that the softawre passes the U.S. Postal Service's highest standards for address correction. Census Coding Census coding assigns a standard set of census codes to street addresses. Census codes are used for demographic analysis in a wide variety of applications. Address Standardization Address standardization is a process which rewrites street addresses in a known format. An address standardizer is a piece of software which performs address standardization.
Address standardization is used in geocoding to make the address matching process easy.
By standardizing your street addresses as well as our underlying map databases, our Eagle Geocoding Technology provides the highest match rates possible. We use a CASS-certified postal address standardizer, guaranteed by the U.S. Postal Service to pass its most rigorous standardization tests. A side effect of our address standardization process is that mass mailings which have been processed with our CASS-certified standardizer are eligible for a discount on postage. Address Matching Address matching is the process of correlating an input street address with a street segment in an underlying geographic database. When both the underlying database and the input address are standardized, as they are in our Eagle Geocoding Technology , the address matcher's job is greatly simplified.
