Melissa’s Global Address Database (GAD) consolidates location information and provides accurate address details on all residences, businesses, apartments, suites and PO Boxes - with geo-coordinates, demographics and any linked data.

Each address in GAD is assigned a unique 10-digit key and is automatically updated monthly with the most accurate USPS (and non-USPS) postal data. So even if the street name, house number, or postal code in an address change, GAD ensures that record remains up to date, retrieving changes to:

• ZIP Codes & Plus 4s
• Street Names
• City Names
• Latitude/Longitude Coordinates (Geocodes)

Our unique address key technology ties together comprehensive geographic, demographic, firmographic, and/or property information associated with an address. GAD offers a multitude of data enrichments for complete intelligence on all of the valid addresses within a given area, including:

• Latitude & longitude coordinates
• FIPS, tract and block, & other demographics
• Property & mortgage data (lot size, building square footage, parcel shape, etc.)
• Hazard data for wind, water, earth & wildfire risks

Adding valuable elements to your data empowers you with greater insight for better business intelligence.

GAD offers complete address coverage with support for the U.S., Canada, and many other countries all over the world. Visit www.melissa.com/mak-wiki for the most up-to-date country support and address counts.
