Suitability of the USPS Delivery Sequence File as a Commercial Building Frame Stephanie Eckman, Michael Colicchia, Colm O’Muircheartaigh
Introduction • USPS Delivery Sequence File • Access through ADVO and other companies • >140 million addresses • Research on use as HU frame • O’Muircheartaigh, Iannacchione and others • Can increase accuracy and reduce cost compared to traditional listing • Commercial building frame?
Design of Test • 11 segments across the country • In-field listing of commercial buildings • December 2006 • Compare to ADVO database
Multiplicity • ADVO contains addresses • But we are interested in buildings • Multiple addresses, one building • Office building • Strip mall • Multiple buildings, one address • Corporate complex
Results: Counts • Ratio of ADVO to listed buildings • Overall 90% • Ranged from 17% in very rural segment to 184% • Causes of Ratio ≠ 100% • Undetected multiplicities • Overcoverage by ADVO • Undercoverage by ADVO • Undercoverage by lister
Maps: Segment 1 • Red dots indicate listed building not on ADVO • ADVO has no coverage in northern half • Can identify such areas for us
Conclusions • Findings similar those for residential addresses • Rural undercoverage • Lister error • Additionally: un-owned areas • Obvious ADVO advantage is cost
Conclusions • ADVO in all segments • ADVO + listing in under-covered segments • ADVO + reconciliation listing • Similar to enhanced listing • In sample of segments or all segments • Field listing
