The following table shows what census information is returned, if any, for specific geocoding result
codes.
Geocoding Result Codes Related to Census Block Information
Result Code Census Block ID Output
S8 S8 results are matched to either the single point associated with an
address point candidate, or to an address point candidate that shares
the same house number.
An S8 result is possible only if you are using a point/parcel dictionary.
The S8 indicates that the address candidate corresponds to an exact
point. No interpolation is required.
S8 results can return complete 15-character Census Block ID.
S7 S7 results are matched to an interpolated point along a street
segment. An S7 result is possible only if you are using a point/parcel
dictionary in addition to a street segment dictionary. Since the S7
interpolation is based on known point addresses, the interpolation is
more accurate than interpolation based on a segment dictionary alone
(which would produce an
S5 result).
S7 results can return a complete 15-character Census Block ID. You
must enable address point interpolation to generate S7 result codes.
See Dictionary Preferences and check the Use Address Point
Interpolation check box to enable address point interpolation during
geocoding.
S6 S6 results are matched to a point ZIP centroid. A point ZIP is a 5-digit
ZIP Code™ that represents a unique ZIP such as a single site,
building, or organization.
S6 is the same level of geocoding accuracy as a Z6 result.
S5 S5 results are matched to an interpolated point along a street
segment. An S5 result is based on a street segment dictionary only.
This interpolation is not a accurate as an
S7 result.
When using the Address Dictionary, this can return a complete
15-character Census Block ID.
S4 S4 results are matched to a street centroid point.
S4 results can return complete 15-character Census Block ID, but
only if the block groups on each side of the street are the same. A
house number is also required for Census Block IDs.
