How this is measured

Every parcel on the Harris County appraisal roll is flagged absentee when the owner’s mailing address does not contain the property’s street address. Counts are exact SQL over the county’s canonical parcel segment as of 2026-07-30 — not estimates, and not extrapolated from a sample. Duplicate, mineral and malformed-address parcel segments are excluded, so a parcel is never counted twice. Texas Signals covers 9 counties for this signal so far; other counties are loaded but not yet processed for absentee status.
