Business & Research

Are our databases precise enough for professional research? Yes. Whether, ZIP Codes, Congressional Districts, Rural Urban & Suburban, Census Stats & Demographics, CBSA Codes, or ZIP+4 databases; they truly meet research quality standards as well as the mission-critical needs of an enterprise. Some of the largest companies in the world rely on our products.

Sourcing & Refinement

We use data collected from several government agencies as well as our own plotting and research. Our creative processes are specific to each database. For instance, the process for ZIP Codes requires lots of clean-up and standardization. Whereas our Rural Urban & Suburban database demands lots of math. Many products require map plotting for geocoding and routine verification.

High Standards

Even low-end data suppliers say they are the best. Unfortunately, there are several low-end data products proclaiming titles like ‘premium’ or ‘commercial-grade’ and this often frustrates a consumer’s ability to distinguish true enterprise level from false. This seems particularly true for ZIP Code lists. We sincerely invite you to compare us. We’re sure you will find our data vastly superior.

How are high and low quality databases different?

Whether it's a congressional districts, CBSA lists, or population by ZIP Code, the authoritativeness of data rests upon where and how it's derived. We strongly recommend reading this brief summary before purchasing a ZIP Code database from anywhere.
