Common questions

Where do offer responsiveness households concentrate?

By share of households, in the Olympia, Appleton and Santa Cruz metro areas. In Olympia, 38.5% of households are high-fit, 3.46x the national rate. By count, the largest high-fit audiences are in California (2.5M), Florida (993K), Texas (945K).

What does high-fit mean for offer responsiveness?

A score of 71 or higher, the top 10% of U.S. households for this outcome. Qualified (score 64 or higher) is the top 25%. These are percentile cuts across all scored households, not a count of households that need the product.

Is the offer responsiveness score Fair Lending qualified?

It uses no race, sex, age, marital status, familial status or public-assistance inputs, no fields that stand in for them, and no credit bureau data. It is not a credit decision. Zip-level targeting should still get a disparate-impact review before media or offer allocation.

Evidence base data behind offer responsiveness

  • Semcasting dataSemcasting household file
  • Regulatory filingFFIEC HMDA 2024
  • Federal statisticsIRS SOI 2022 ZIP data
  • Federal statisticsCensus ACS (mobility, internet)

How the score is built

Each household's offer responsiveness score (0 to 100) combines its own household fields (50%: digital activity 50%, mid-range income 50%) with market signals for its zipcode (50%) from FFIEC HMDA 2024, IRS SOI 2022 ZIP data, Census ACS (mobility, internet). Each zip signal is converted to a national percentile. Weights follow Semcasting's acquisition driver model and are refined as campaign and account-opening results come in. State and zip indexes compare an area's average score with the U.S. average (100).

How it is confirmed

Every scored file carries a fixed 10% holdout. As account-opening and campaign outcome data comes in, each score is fitted to actual results and lift is reported by score decile against the holdout.

What it is not

The score is not a credit decision and uses no credit bureau data. It excludes race, sex, age, marital status, familial status and receipt of public assistance, and any field that stands in for them. Zip-level targeting should still get a disparate-impact review before media or offer allocation.
