Reference Solutions provides access to two databases:
- US Businesses covers over 79 million companies
- US Consumers / Lifestyles covers over 270 million consumers
The Consumers / Lifestyles module's Advanced Search allows one to search across geographic, demographic and lifestyle data:
- Housing - home value and household income
- Lifestyles - from apparel choices to travel.
- Consumer Snapshot - age, gender, ethnicity, religion, political party, years in home, etc. This data is considered "sensitive" and is reported only in the aggregated level; that is, individual consumers are not identified.
