Buildings USA
Buildings USA delivers the building polygon, address, and location intelligence insight that insurers, telecoms, and location-based marketing requires.
With this dataset, you’ll gain a detailed view that includes:
- Property essentials: FIPS, census block, and address details
- Building basics: type and usage
- Building location: how it’s placed and centered on its lot
- Elevation: lowest, highest, and centroid
FIPS, APN, census block ID, and address ID enable geo-enrichment with property attributes, U.S. Census Bureau data, and address genealogy. Seamless integration with key tools makes it easy to layer, visualize, analyze, and share.
