Accuracy figures for our more accurate GeoIP City database are available here.

The following table shows a breakdown of the accuracy of GeoLite City on a city level by country for selected countries. The GeoLite databases are 99.3% accurate at a country level. We arrive at the accuracy figure by checking known IP address and location pairs against our database. We obtain the known IP location pairs from sites that ask the web visitor to provide their geographic location. The geographic location along with the web visitor's IP Address is forwarded to us.

While only larger countries are shown below, the GeoLite City database covers cities worldwide.

Table Terms:

Correctly Resolved Within 25 Miles of True Location: refers to the IP addresses that are correctly resolved within 25 miles of the actual city. The second number in parenthesis refers to the percentage of IP addresses that are correctly resolved if excluding data not covered on a city level.

Incorrectly Resolved More Than 25 Miles From True Location: refers to IP addresses that were incorrectly resolved by more than 25 miles of the actual city.

Not Covered on a City Level: refers to the percentage of the data of select country that does not contain city information. We leave these data ranges without city information to prevent false positives. The city information is not available for AOL IP address or when Internet Service Providers (ISPs) route traffic through proxies thus masking the originating location.
