geocoding

Address geocoding and Postal Code / Zip coordinates

«Georeferencing means that the internal coordinate system of a map or aerial photo image can be related to a ground system of geographic coordinates… » in wikipedia

GeoPoint provides field Georeferencing services based on specialized equipment and Geographic Information Systems. Georreferencing is often mixed up with Geocoding.

Geocoding is the computational process of transforming a physical address description to a location on the Earth’s surface (spatial representation in numerical coordinates). Reverse geocoding, on the other hand, converts geographic coordinates to a description of a location, usually the name of a place or an addressable location. Geocoding relies on a computer representation of address points, the street / road network, together with postal and administrative boundaries.

The geographic coordinates representing locations often vary greatly in positional accuracy. Examples include building centroids, land parcel centroids, interpolated locations based on thoroughfare ranges, street segments centroids, postal code centroids (e.g. ZIP codes), and Administrative Boundary Centroids.

The accuracy level of a geocoding process depends on the quality of the reference information but mainly on the quality of the Data Base to be geocoded.

We are able to geocode in many countries. In Portugal we are able to provide the following geocoding levels:

o A – Door (A1) or Block (left or right) (A2)
o B – 7 Digits Postal Code [1111-222] (centroid)
o C – Street
o D – Locality

Portuguese 7 Digits Postal Code/ZIP coordinates

GeoPoint has a geo-referenced address and zip/Postal Code database for the centroid of your area.

The 7 digit Postcode is based on the streets. Aside from high postal traffic exceptions where a point (a building) may have a unique code such as a bank headquarters, or low postal traffic villages that may have a single village-wide CP7, the rest is based on “block fronts” which are basically street sections separated by the street side.

GeoStatData

GeoStatData is a catalogue of socio-demographic data and mapping, whose objective is to provide appropriate information for facilitating the decision making of businesses.
It is based on the official map of census sections (or other official infra-municipal divisions, depending on the country), to which a series of information which is key to understanding the surroundings of a company and its market is added.

Countries available
At this time, we provide geostatistical information to the following countries:
USA – Spain – Italy – France- Portugal

GeoStatData contains key information for learning about the surrounding area of a company and its market. Notable examples of the variables that it includes are:

– Population by gender
– Population by age
– Population composition of homes
– Presence of premises in an area
– Square metres of commercial space
– Square metres of premises by typology
– Square metres of homes
– Level of studies of the population
– Working population
– Building typology in the area
– Height of buildings

Furthermore, we have other exclusive data, which provide added value to the database, such as:

– Indicator of level of wealth
– Pedestrian traffic at the census section level
– Typology of areas (industrial, historic centre of cities, rural, etc.)
– Social class
– Tourism index
– Value of homes and evolution of this value in recent years
– Commercial attractiveness

7 Digits Postal Code and georeferenced doors – national level

GeoPoint has a 7-digit ZIP Code database as well as a database of residential and non-residential doors, both referenced nationally.

Data from Foreign Countries

We have partnerships with several data providers in several countries around the world and on all continents. Do not hesitate to contact us.

Special Data

Not all the data that exists is prepared to be used with a geographical purpose. We have experience in working sectoral data from car park to real estate or health.
Most data has a location component even though it is not obvious: sectoral studies, public data, web-scraping … Contact us!
