ZOOM Geocoder Features
Multiple Mapping Data Sources
Access eight different geocode/mapping data sources with the click of a button. Each source has been carefully selected to provide you with the most accurate data available.
All Location Markers on one Map
Each data source accessed is returned back to you in a visual format letting you see exactly where the address is located based on each geocoder's results.
Census Tract Boundaries Overlay
An overlay of the census tract boundaries may be turned on or off to visually depict where each geocoder's coordinates lie and within which tract.
Geocode & Demographics Details
Click on individual geocoder results to view more advanced details including county, MSA, census tract, median family income, minority population and much more.
Satellite & Map Views
Optionally view the map in the standard, graphical format or see the actual properties via the satellite mode. If you need more detail, you can even get down to a street level view in some areas.
Printable Map & Data
The complete geocode and demographic information may be printed along with a customizable and interactive map of the address location and census tract boundaries.
Research Online
Quickly and easily look up the submitted address against multiple 3rd party online sources and search engines. This is useful when trying to find out additional information about the property.
ZOOM Geocoder vs Manual Address Verification
See how ZOOM simplifies geocode verification for compliance
| Verification Task | With ZOOM Geocoder | Manual Verification |
|---|---|---|
| Data Source Comparison | View 8 geocoding sources simultaneously on one interactive map. Instantly see where each geocoder places the address. | Manually query multiple geocoding services separately. Compare results in different tabs or spreadsheets. |
| Census Tract Verification | Toggle census tract boundaries on/off. Visually confirm which tract contains each geocoder's coordinates. See tract income levels instantly. | Look up census tract boundaries on separate Census Bureau maps. Cross-reference coordinates manually. |
| Boundary Line Addresses | Immediately identify when an address falls near a census tract boundary. Visual markers show exact positions relative to tract lines. | No visual context for borderline cases. Difficult to determine if small coordinate differences matter for tract assignment. |
| Rural Address Handling | Satellite view reveals actual property locations in rural areas. Verify coordinates against visible structures and roads. | Rural addresses often geocode poorly. No way to visually confirm if coordinates are accurate without visiting the property. |
| Documentation | Print map and demographic data together. Create audit-ready documentation showing geocode decision basis. | Manual screenshot capture and documentation. Time-consuming to create records for auditors. |
| Demographic Data Access | Click any marker to view census tract demographics: median family income, minority population, tract income level for CRA. | Separately look up demographic data in FFIEC Census database. Manual cross-referencing of tract characteristics. |
| Property Research | Built-in links to online property databases and search engines for instant address verification and research. | Manually search multiple websites to verify property existence and address accuracy. |
| Time to Resolve Problem Address | Minutes to visually verify and document geocode decision | 30+ minutes per address for manual verification and documentation |
Live Demonstration
A hard-to-find address, run through all eight geocoders at once. Watch the overview, then try the same tool yourself on a real address.
The overview follows a single problem address through the tool. You watch the query go out to every geocoder at once, the answers come back and land together on the map, and any disagreement between them becomes visible, which is the part a batch process hides from you. From there it is a judgement call on one screen rather than a research task across several tabs. The same view is what makes ZOOM useful as an audit: run an address you have already geocoded and you can see immediately whether the engines agree with the tract you filed.
