Non-Subscriber vs Subscribers Qualifying for In-County Rates

If you are worried about going over the 50% threshold of Subscribers vs Non-Subscribers for In-County rates, this command can be run on a validated list to monitor your percentages for each mailing.

You would need the subscribe_ logical-type field that is populated with T or F for each record, and make sure to run address validation in AccuZIP6 with the County Code (FIPS) and County name boxes selected.

When you run the command, enter the 5-digit zip that you are mailing from, and you will get a popup with the following message:
