Designing a location schema your team can trust

A practical checklist for fields, confidence scores, and data governance.

A good location schema is more than a lat/long pair. It should capture formatting, administrative levels, and quality signals so every team knows how to use the data.

Start with a canonical address string and parsed components like street number, route, locality, region, and postal code. Add precision metadata to indicate the granularity of the result, and keep confidence scores alongside every response.

LocStack delivers structured outputs with these fields out of the box, so teams can skip custom parsing and focus on modeling, analytics, and product workflows.
