US Rooftop Geocoding

A geocode is the latitude and longitude coordinates of a physical address. “Rooftop” geocoding indicates that the returned geocode coordinates will point to the actual rooftop of an address. Other geocoding providers may give you an estimated geocode for the center of a property—possibly a long way from the actual roof of the building. SmartyStreets' US Rooftop Geocoding gives you true rooftop geocodes.

Geocoding unlocks hidden value from your address data. For example, what insurance risks does an address have nearby? What specific service area is it in? The more precise your geocodes are, the more you can reduce costs, and increase profits.

US Rooftop Geocoding is coupled with SmartyStreets’ US Street Address API. You can check out how it works by trying out the demo at the top of this page. More detailed instructions on how US Rooftop Geocoding works can be found in our helpful documentation.

The majority of addresses will be accurate to the building footprint level. In cases where multiple addresses are located within the same building, our geocoding will frequently be accurate at the sub-building level—meaning we can help you identify individual shops in a strip mall, or precisely locate each office in a business park.
