geometry
Coordinate data for a property or parcel: point locations and polygon boundaries.
Represents geographical coordinate data including single points and polygonal boundaries for properties and parcels.
The question it answers
What is this house, physically?
The feature vector, taken from the source of record rather than from a listing agent. Assessor and parcel records are authoritative; listing fields are agent-entered, inconsistent between markets, and absent entirely for a property that was never listed.
Why it matters
The boundary is what makes spatial questions answerable — whether a parcel touches a flood zone, backs onto a commercial use, or falls inside a school attendance boundary. A point alone answers none of those.
In practice
Both forms are carried because sources publish both, and a centroid derived from a polygon is not the same as a geocoded address point. Which one a record holds determines which spatial queries can be trusted against it.
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. |
latitude | number | null | Latitude coordinate of a single point location, ranging from -90° (South Pole) to +90° (North Pole). |
longitude | number | null | Longitude coordinate of a single point location, ranging from -180° to +180°. |
polygon | array | An array of coordinate points defining a closed polygon boundary. Requires at least 3 points to form a valid polygon. |
Provenance and coverage
A record of this class is validated against the same definition whatever jurisdiction it came from, which is what makes two counties comparable without a per-county adapter. A jurisdiction appears below only where a committed configuration serves this class's surface.
