Group Code

Output port that writes a code value to indicate the demographic group to which a household is likely to belong. The Group Code port identifies a demographic group within a country.

The Group Code port uses reference data to return customer segmentation data for an address. Customer segmentation is a form of demographic analysis that infers social and economic status information about the residents at an address. For example, customer segmentation can estimate financial wealth, age, and family size for the address residents. The Group Code value summarizes the results of the customer segmentation analysis for the address.

Consider the following guidelines when you use the Group Code port:

Group codes vary from country to country. If you perform customer segmentation analysis on addresses from more than one country, add a country code output port to the address record.

Select the Group Description port with the Group Code port to return a text description of the category code.

The group code summarizes the results of the customer segmentation analysis for an address. Select the Category Code port to add a numeric code to the address record that provides lower-level customer segmentation data.
