Ecopia® Building-Based Geocoding offers the first and only complete building footprint collection in the US, paired with best-in-class address data. We leverage the most up-to-date geospatial imagery available to create a unique source of ground truth, ensuring that our data provides the most accurate representation of reality.
Benefits
Ecopia’s Building-Based Geocoding includes over 173 million building footprints and more than 240 million addresses (primary + secondary), offering the most complete database of property locations in the US.
Our dedicated geocoding engine uses a unique machine learning-based address parsing system to match each address to the correct building at-scale.
Ecopia's partner network of leading geospatial imagery providers captures high-resolution aerial and satellite imagery of the US every year, enabling us to detect change and deliver annual updates of our building footprint and geocoding data.
Accurate building footprints
Building-Based Geocoding is created from the only complete database of US building footprints, which Ecopia generates directly from high-resolution aerial and satellite imagery and updates each year. These footprints cover 100% of the contiguous US, and come with best-in-class contractually-guaranteed 95%+ accuracy specifications.
Dedicated geocoding engine
Next, Ecopia's proprietary geocoding engine, designed to handle vast amounts of geospatial data, applies a unique machine-learning based parsing system to match each address to the correct building - resulting in the most comprehensive rooftop-level geocoding across the country.
Regular updates to source data
Lastly, Ecopia leverages our partnership with leading geospatial imagery providers to source fresh high-resolution imagery of the US each year. This imagery is mined using Ecopia's AI, providing an update of Building Footprints every year - the updated Building Footprints are then further enhanced with the most up-to-date address data available.

Trusted by industry leaders
As a result of the integration of Ecopia’s Building-Based Geocoding, Tokio Marine North America Services was able to move to a true building-based database of policies, resulting in the ability to better estimate reconstruction cost and risk.
We chose to partner with Ecopia after thoroughly evaluating various building footprint sources for the United States on metrics of comprehensiveness, accuracy, and recency – and I am also convinced that Ecopia will extend this competitive edge with future products for the industry.
Without the data from Ecopia, the State of Alaska was at an immediate disadvantage for receiving funding to expand broadband services. Now we have a source of truth with which we can identify broadband serviceable locations and secure federal funding for network expansion throughout Alaska.
We are proud that our partnership with an industry-leading company like Ecopia can push the boundaries of AI-driven underwriting to create next-generation flood insurance solutions for our customers.
Our collaboration with Ecopia allows us to leverage the highest-quality building footprints in conjunction with our additional property information – this offers a new level of depth and quality to the information provided to our clients
This partnership with Ecopia will enable next-generation building-based property intelligence, providing more accurate spatial data on our business portfolio while simultaneously increasing the efficiency of our underwriters.
