September 2008 Consumer Database Updates
The 210 Million Consumer database covers 95% of all US households, and is
created by researching thousands of sources and aggregating about 2 billion
records into the most accurate database available.
We have improved our multi-Cultural coding process. As a result, a decrease in
people coded as Jewish occurred. Conversely, slight increases in the counts of
Greek, Basque and Arab ethnic codes will be noticeable.

Did you know that 30% of movers do not report their change of address to the US
Post Office? By combining the Post Office’s National Change of Address (NCOA)
with other sources, we can assure you the most accurate information available.
We’ve added another new source for Change of Address to improve the contact rate
of your sales leads.
