# Custom Address Fields

Use the Address field type to create custom fields that store address data in a structured compound data type. Compound fields are an abstraction that can simplify application code that handles the values, leading to more concise, understandable code. With Custom Address Fields, custom addresses are accessible as a single, structured field, or as individual component fields.

|Available in: all editions|

**note:** Before you enable custom address fields, review the [Custom Address Fields Requirements and Limitations](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/caf-dev/guide/caf-dev-limitations.md). To discuss the feature and ask questions, join the [Custom Address Fields Discussion](https://trailhead.salesforce.com/trailblazer-community/groups/0F94S000000H3KISA0) group on the Trailblazer Community.

Address compound fields are delivered for standard fields on standard objects. Now with Custom Address Fields, custom fields can mirror the standard address field behavior. End users can add and retrieve address data via these custom Address fields on standard and custom objects. Users can edit the custom address field data in records and view custom address data in list views and reports.

**note:** For custom compound fields, each component counts as one custom field toward your org’s allocations. Thus each custom address field counts as nine custom fields: one each for street, city, postal code, country code, state code, geocode accuracy level, longitude, and latitude, plus one for internal use. For more information on the allocations for your org, see [Salesforce Features and Edition Allocations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.overview_limits_general.htm&type=5) in Salesforce Help.
