Geographic Centroid Location Codes

Location codes that begin with "G" are geographic centroid location codes. Geographic centroids may be returned if the geographic centroid fallback option is enabled and an address-level geocode could not be determined. Geographic centroid location codes indicate the quality of a city, county, or state centroid.
