Coverage improvement for bed count, bathroom count, and living square footage in public record data through additional MLS data augmentation. When public records are missing or incomplete, we now supplement with MLS data to provide more comprehensive property characteristics.
Made sure this field was standardized to 6 digits and synced with US Census to make sure people can align with the 11-digit Geographic Identifier (GEOID) assigned to each census tract which consists of:
5 digit fips code from “propertyInfo.address.fips”
6 digit census tract code from “lotInfo.censusTract”
Certain counties were not properly assigning unit counts for residential multi-family properties.
We addressed these gaps by assigning a unit count based on the county’s property use classification of that property:
Duplex (369) => 2 units
Triplex (388) => 3 units
Quadplex (378) => 4 units
