All results are returned in [tibble format](https://tibble.tidyverse.org/). Batch geocoding (geocoding multiple addresses per query) is used by default for the US Census and Geocodio services when multiple addresses are provided. Duplicate, missing/NA, and blank address data is handled elegantly - only unique addresses are passed to geocoder services, but the rows in the original data are preserved. ## Geocoder Services -The Census geocoder is restricted to street-level addresses in the United States, Geocodio covers the U.S. and Canada, while Location IQ and OSM have worldwide coverage.
