Population Movement Statistics

12% of the U.S. population moves every year.

Consider what that means for your lists. If 1% of your list of 150,000 records have moved, then 1,500 records are now out of date. With BCC Software’s NCOALink Services, you can submit lists for change of address processing on a regular basis.
