# address # address A physical or mailing address, parsed into components with postal and geographic identifiers. Represents a physical or mailing address with comprehensive location details including street information, postal codes and geographic identifiers. The question it answers ## Who owns it, and what does that imply? A deed names its parties as strings. Resolving those strings to a person and a mailing address is what separates an owner-occupant from an investor, and what links one owner to the rest of a portfolio. Other classes answering this question ## Why it matters The parsed address is the join key of last resort. Where a parcel identifier cannot be matched across two sources, a normalised address is what connects them, so the parsing has to be consistent rather than merely correct. ## In practice The class holds components rather than a line of text: street number, name, suffix, directionals, unit, locality, state and postal code, each addressable. Directional prefixes and suffixes are separate fields because a county that writes them differently is otherwise an unmatched record. ## Properties | Property | Type | Definition | | --- | --- | --- | | `source_http_request` | `object` | HTTP request configuration for retrieving this data. | | `request_identifier` | `string | null` | Identifier value that should be substituted into the source HTTP request to retrieve this specific data. | | `city_name` | `string | null` | City name refers to the name of the city in which the address is located.
