When business decision making requires the highest level of accuracy, Pitney Bowes Software parcel data products provide some of the most detailed geographic analysis available.
How our parcel data products work
Using parcel boundary data, rather than the simple points used in addressing, allows you to map and analyze property characteristics across an entire area of interest.
Each parcel’s unique identifier allows it to be linked to other forms of information, including valuations, service areas, environmental factors, demographics, and more. Parcel data also enables sophisticated spatial analysis such as proximity, overlay, and buffer zone operations.

Centrus Parcels
The Centrus Parcels Data Set provides more accurate parcel boundary definitions for the United States through Spatial+ based solutions.
Centrus Parcels are based on parcel polygons acquired from local governments across the United States, providing point-in-polygon analysis and display capabilities. The APN attribute is the Parcel identifier that enables users to retrieve additional property information from third party property reporting firms. The Elevation attribute is derived from USGS Digital Elevation Model data.
There are three versions of Centrus Parcels for Point–in–Polygon analysis and display:
- Centrus Parcels — parcel boundary data set with standardized site address attribute for Point–in–Polygon analysis and display on maps or aerial imagery
- Centrus Enhanced Parcels — parcel boundary data set with address and Assessor Parcel Number (APN) attributes for Point–in–Polygon analysis and display on maps or aerial imagery
