Geographic Coverage

Coverage varies by data product. All endpoints accept addresses anywhere in the United States, but will return partial or empty data for locations outside the covered area.

AVM coverage notes

AVM accuracy is a function of local comparable sale density. Urban and suburban markets with active MLS data produce tighter confidence intervals. Rural areas, very high-end properties, or markets with infrequent sales will have wider confidence intervals.

The confidence_interval_95 in the AVM response reflects model uncertainty at the specific location and price point — a wide interval is a signal that the local market has limited comparable data.

Flood zone coverage notes

FEMA DFIRM mapping covers areas where flood risk studies have been completed. Some rural areas may be mapped with older, less detailed methods (Zone A without Base Flood Elevation) or may not have been studied at all. FEMA's Flood Map Service Center is the authoritative source for the most current FIRM maps.

Storm surge coverage notes

Storm surge data is available only in coastal areas modeled by NOAA's SLOSH system — primarily Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coastal counties. Locations without storm surge risk (inland areas) return in_surge_zone: false.

Crime data coverage notes

NIBRS participation is voluntary at the agency level. Major cities and suburban law enforcement agencies generally participate; some rural and tribal jurisdictions do not. The absence of crime records for a location should not be interpreted as "zero crime" — it may mean the reporting agency does not submit to NIBRS.
