Field fill rates in Wisconsin

The share of residential parcels in Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin file is used for

  • Loading the state into a warehouse or product under a bulk license
  • Owner and mailing-address appends for Wisconsin addresses
  • Insurance underwriting inputs where the structure fields are filled, with the roof field supplemented from permit history because Wisconsin counties publish it on ~15% of parcels
  • Purchase, refinance and new-homeowner triggers from the recorder side of the file

Wisconsin counties publish very few roof and construction codes. Year built and living area are partly covered, and roof age for Wisconsin is best taken from permit history where a roofing permit exists.

The other side of the Wisconsin market

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