PostGIS Tiger Geocoder 2025.2

The PostGIS development team is pleased to provide postgis_tiger_geocoder extension. This is the very second release since the break from the PostGIS core. This version requires PostgreSQL 16 and above and should work with any supported PostGIS version.

PostGIS 3.6 series is the last series to include postgis_tiger_geocoder. PostGIS 3.7 will be shipped without postgis_tiger_geocoder.

postgis_tiger_geocoder has its own dedicated repo at OSGeo Gitea postgis_tiger_geocoder under the PostGIS org.

The versioning model is versioned based on the year of the Census US Tiger dataset that is current at time of it’s release.

Note that postgis_tiger_geocoder is a plpgsql only extension, so if per-chance you don’t have available, you can use the pre-built extension files that are prefixed with postgis_tiger_geocoder-pg and copy these into your share/extension.

For installing, refer to Installing the extension

If you are upgrading from an older release do:

ALTER EXTENSION postgis_tiger_geocoder UPDATE;

If you get an ERROR: extension "postgis_tiger_geocoder" has no update path from version "x to version "2025.2" or you are upgrading from a development version, do:

ALTER EXTENSION postgis_tiger_geocoder UPDATE TO "ANY";
ALTER EXTENSION postgis_tiger_geocoder UPDATE;
