Statewide map →

MnGeo parcel records

16,719

Records used as the denominator for county field-population percentages.

Fields with values

28/91

Standard fields containing at least one populated value in this county.

All-field fill rate

16.62%

Populated cells across all standard fields. This is descriptive, not a compliance score.

Mandatory-field fill rate

57.14%

4/7 Mandatory fields are populated for 100% of records.

The GAC standard uses four inclusion categories: Mandatory, Conditional, If Available, and Optional. A blank Conditional, If Available, or Optional field can be valid, so these percentages should not be interpreted as a pass/fail compliance grade. Standard: MN GAC Parcel Data Standard v1.1.3.
