Here’s part of what he said:

“We looked at other providers, but Maponics’ quality was by far the highest. In particular, their neighborhoods have distinct boundary lines, not the overlapping ones that other company’s offer. This ensures that users don’t purchase duplicate copies of the same address. That can happen when boundaries are allowed to overlap and individual addresses fall into two different neighborhoods at the same time. The Maponics neighborhood data captures three levels of neighborhoods: sub-neighborhoods, neighborhoods, and macro-neighborhoods. This gives our users the flexibility to target very broad or very micro neighborhoods.”
