What this site is
Offender Map publishes a read-only, static snapshot of publicly available sex offender registry records for North Carolina, Florida, Texas, and Georgia alongside school locations, so visitors can see registered addresses in relation to nearby schools. This site is an independent, unofficial project. It is not affiliated with, and is not endorsed by, any of the state agencies listed below or any other state agency.
Data sources
| State | Registry | Published by |
|---|---|---|
| North Carolina | North Carolina Sex Offender and Public Protection Registry | North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation (NCSBI) |
| Florida | Florida Sexual Offender and Predator Registry | Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) |
| Texas | Texas Public Sex Offender Registry | Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) |
| Georgia | Georgia Sex Offender Registry | Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) |
School locations are sourced from the federal NCES public school directory for all four states. North Carolina additionally maps a state private-school directory and a national licensed child care center file.
What each state's map shows
Each state's registry publishes different information, and this site never shows a characterization a state didn't publish:
| State | Shown on this site |
|---|---|
| North Carolina | The offense/conviction description. No demographic data. Also maps private schools and licensed child care centers alongside public schools. |
| Florida | No registry characterizations at all — no offense data, predator designation, or registration status. Only photo, name, address/city, distance to nearby schools, and a link to the official FDLE record, because Florida's public data file contains no offense information to characterize. |
| Texas | The offense description, plus a risk level (High/Moderate/Low) that is TxDPS's own assessment. It is always labelled as TxDPS's finding (for example, “TxDPS risk: Low”), never restated as this site's judgement. A record TxDPS has not assessed shows nothing rather than an “unknown” label. |
| Georgia | The offense description, registry-reported address/county, registration and verification dates, and conviction date/state where available. Physical descriptions, the separate predator flag, and the registry's leveling value are not displayed. |
How the map is built
Each usable registered address is assigned an approximate latitude/longitude using a validated street-address geocode where the Census Geocoder can match it, and a ZIP code centroid when it cannot. Street-address geocodes are interpolated along an address range, not verified rooftop or GPS coordinates. Administrative, transient, unknown, and out-of-state placeholder addresses are excluded from mapping rather than placed at a ZIP centroid. Records for people recorded as incarcerated, deported, absconded, deceased, or out of state are counted in the totals but not plotted on the map, because they are not at their last reported address and placing a pin there would assert something false about that address and whoever lives there now. "Nearby" offenders on a school page are calculated using straight-line (great-circle) distance from the school, not driving distance, and are limited to a 3-mile radius.
Update schedule
Each state's site — offender records, addresses, and county/school pages — is rebuilt from that state's registry on a weekly basis. Street-address and ZIP-centroid geocoding is refreshed incrementally during scheduled builds. The current snapshot's build time is shown at the top of the home page and on every county page.
Limitations & corrections
This site reproduces public records as published and may lag behind, omit, or mis-locate individual entries due to geocoding limitations, registry update timing, or data-entry issues in the source records. It should not be used as a substitute for the official registry. For the authoritative, current record on any individual, or to report an error in an official registration, use that state's official registry — linked in the table above — directly.
Editorial responsibility & corrections
Offender Map is the publisher and maintainer of this independent site. The methodology on this page was last reviewed September 15, 2026. Reports about a broken link, display error, or possible mapping error are reviewed through the contact page; the goal is to acknowledge actionable site reports within five business days. Official registry corrections must be made by the publishing state agency.
Material methodology and source changes are documented in the project's public repository history.
