# A Note on Contact Locations

> To determine the location for a specific contact, connect the `position_location_id` in the People API response with the matching `location_id` in the addresses array. All required information is in the single API response.
>
> A contact record is returned with an `addresses` array. This is an array of addresses belonging to the company with which the contact is associated. There is a field for each address called `is_hq`. Where this value is true, this is the HQ address. There is also a `location_id` for each address.
>
> For the contact itself, the `position_location_id` will map to the `location_id` of one of the provided addresses in the array for an HQ or branch location, to surface the contact’s specific location. We also include a `location` field, which is the city/state/country where that contact is located. This location field is also present for remote contacts and, in that case, is provided instead of a remote/personal address. The `location_type` field will tell you whether the contact is at the HQ (inc HQ fallback, which is default for lack of additional info), a branch, or remote.
