Direct answer

Coverage describes whether a source class is available for a jurisdiction and retained window. It does not certify completeness, market inventory or the absence of records outside Acren’s accessible scope.

Four availability states change the workflow differently: loaded, partial, official link, not loaded.

Illustrative coverage states; the current registry is authoritative for each jurisdiction.

Geography and freshness are separate dimensions

A market is a defined group of counties, while the state row is an orientation context. A loaded state value must not be read as a market count, and a market profile must not imply every county has the same record readiness.

Refresh dates, retained windows and record classes determine what can be found. When a field is missing, the product keeps the missing state visible instead of substituting a neighboring jurisdiction or an estimate.

Before expanding a search

  • Confirm the counties in the target market.
  • Inspect readiness for the record classes your question needs.
  • Check the observed date and retained window.
  • Use the official system when it remains the authoritative next step.
