Field fill rates in Massachusetts

The share of residential parcels in Massachusetts on which each field is populated. Owner name, mailing address, lot size, assessed value and coordinates are filled on effectively every parcel nationally and are omitted. The structure fields are the ones that vary, because they come from county field cards that not every county publishes.

Denominator: parcels with a residential land use code. Fill rates on all parcels, including vacant land and commercial, are lower; on parcels with a building they are higher and the denominator varies by state. We use residential throughout so states compare.

What the Massachusetts file is used for

  • Loading the state into a warehouse or product under a bulk license
  • Owner and mailing-address appends for Massachusetts addresses
  • Insurance underwriting inputs where the structure fields are filled
  • Purchase, refinance and new-homeowner triggers from the recorder side of the file

Massachusetts counties publish their structure characteristics unusually completely, so the Massachusetts file supports underwriting and condition use without supplementation.

The other side of the Massachusetts market

Parcels are the housing stock; licensees are the people who transact it. The Massachusetts real estate license data page covers every agent and broker on the state register with matched contact data, and the Massachusetts license lookup checks a single license for free.
