Carrier Route Boundaries

The Carrier Route Boundaries product represents the area served by a particular USPS mail carrier. Using multiple data sources, Precisely creates over 250,000 boundaries nationwide that follow roads, both for accuracy and visual appeal. Our proprietary process captures residential and business routes with the resulting product being a great resource for direct marketers. Other advantages include:

• Use of multiple data feeds, including USPS data, to ensure completeness<br/>• CASS-certifiable data imported each month;<br/>• Rigorous linkage of ZIP+4 data to every US street segment;<br/>• Segment scores based on match rates;<br/>• Areas are incorporated cleanly, without the “fake accuracy” of jagged fence-posting used by other companies.

There are 5 primary tables in the product:

Carrier Route Boundaries - provides latitude/longitude coordinates for the vertices of carrier route polygons. Point-type carrier routes are not included in this version.

Carrier Route Centroids - includes all carrier routes, one record per, including point-type routes such as PO Boxes and others for which an accurate boundary cannot be defined. If possible, PO Box carrier routes are located at a post office’s physical location; otherwise, these routes appear at the ZIP centroid. If a point carrier route is not a PO Box, we attempt to place it at the centroid of the street segment where we have the best match; otherwise, we place it at the ZIP centroid.

ZIP Code Boundaries, ZIP Code Centroids, ZIP Code Alternate Names - 5-digit ZIP Code boundaries and centroids are included with the Carrier Route Boundaries product in a separate set of files. The ZIP Codes have the same currency as, and their boundaries align with, their respective carrier routes. The ZIP Code alternate names provides all names associated with a particular ZIP Code in a separate table for faster geocoding and better hit rates in the main ZIP Code boundary file.

This sample data set covers the San Francisco, CA area. This represents a subset of the full product’s geographic extent. The full commercial offering features geographic coverage of the entire United States. Contact [e-mail] for more information on licensing the product.
