Geographic Region¶
If your church uses geocoding to assign a Geo-Region to the addresses in your database, this Condition, located on the Address category tab in Search Builder, allows you to find people whose address falls within one or more of those regions.
How to Use It¶
Select the region (or regions) you want from the Codes list, then choose a Comparison to include or exclude the people in those regions.
Note
The regions available in the Codes list come from the KML map your church uploads on the Admin > Advanced > Geocoding page. A person’s Geo-Region is assigned and refreshed nightly based on the geocode of their address, so people without a geocoded address will not match this Condition.
Use Case - Neighborhood Outreach
To invite everyone who lives in a particular part of town to a neighborhood gathering, select that neighborhood’s region from the Codes list with the Comparison set to Equal. The search returns just the people who live there.
