When you input a city, and click on count. Is that accurate? Or a randomly generated number? I tried to find out how many parcels are in Faribault MN, count = 102978. (keep in mind population of that tiny town is only 24,000), and then I selected the county that contains Faribault, Rice County and count = 2690.
Any ideas on that discrepancy?
ok, cool. thank you!
Hi Marc, thank you for providing those detailed examples! I see exactly what's happening and the good news is that everything is working properly.
If you search a city in our search bar, we actually don't do a specific city search. Instead, we pinpoint that city, draw a radius around it, and pull in all of the surrounding counties that touch that radius. This is why you're seeing such a large parcel count when you type in the city of Faribault, MN compared to Rice County, MN or any other city compared to its county. To provide more context to this, below is a video link from our YouTube Channel that highlights exactly how our city radius feature works!

However, if you would like to only search a specific city, below is another video link from our YouTube Channel that highlights exactly how to do this as well!

Hopefully, this helps provide more insight and clears up any confusion!
I'm sure there is something I'm doing wrong....here's another example outside of las vegas. The count of parcels in Boulder City is 410,000. Yet the population is only 14,000 and the whole county of clark county is 54,000 parcels. So Boulder City within Clark County has 410,000 parcels.
how do we know what to believe? Here's another example of mesquite nevada, in clark county. Count of parcels for mesquite is 240,000. Wow. Count of parcels for the entire Clark county, is only. 54000. Population is only 21,000. @Max, what gives?
