Applicable geocode match levels

Verisk Synergy Studio matches these sets of information at the following levels:

  • At a CRESTA centroid geocode match level if you supply the country and CRESTA (CRESTA location information scheme)
  • At a Postal Code centroid geocode match level if you supply the country and province (area) (Province location information scheme)
  • At a Postal Code centroid geocode match level if you supply the country, province (area), and county/sector (subarea) (Province County location information scheme)
  • At a Postal Code centroid geocode match level if you supply the country, CRESTA, and sector (subarea) (CRESTA county location information scheme)
Note:

For the Province location information scheme, Verisk Synergy Studio forward fills the location information that you enter to include the corresponding county (sector) name/code. Consequently, Verisk Synergy Studio matches this set of location information at a subarea (higher resolution) level to meet model requirements.
