The Verisk data module "Consumer Profiles" (as far as I can tell) does not contain any time-related variables whatsoever.

The Verisk "Property Data" page states: "This comprehensive dataset can be joined to the Total Consumer Insights - Consumer Panel dataset from Verisk using the address ID (ADDRID) attribute to include hundreds of demographic characteristics about the owners and tenants."

If the "Consumer Profiles" dataset does not contain a "year-of-survey" or similar year information, how can we merge property characteristics with demographic characteristics when a different household could be residing at that address at the time of survey? Both of these datasets are cross-sections.

Eg,take a "Consumer Profiles" household with a given set of demographics which lives at address "123 Main St" during 2002 — 2014, but house "123 Main St" is then surveyed in the "Property Data" in 2023, so merging on ADDRID results in the demographics attached to this house being inaccurate.

Can someone please advise on this?

Thank you.
