How Addresses Are Used In GIS
Addresses can be used to join or relate GIS data to other agency databases (police, sales-tax and other non-APN based datasets)
Addresses are valuable attributes for
managing GIS features (parcels,
businesses, utilities,etc.)

The Search for Map Position
GEOCODING also called
ADDRESS MATCHING
Depicting the relationship of a record’s address to a mapped street feature.

GeoCoding – How It Works
Interpolating Process Compares a record’s address attribute to
the address range of a mapped feature – a road.

Scoring GeoCoded Matches
Example: Record Range Score
The GeoCoding process assigns a match score to each address –if the match score is over a certain threshold, the program will map the record.

GeoCoding – Not an Exact Science
Placement can be affected by: Inconsistencies of data entry process Subtleties of the GeoCoding scoring methods The interpretive process itself Land use patterns
However, GeoCoding is useful when address data is less than perfect

Another Address Location Option
ISSUES:Not a Batch Process – unless custom scripts are builtNo tolerance for dissimilar addresses – no interpolationOnce matched, placement is as accurate as features are mapped
Direct queries against GIS feature databases - Polygons and Points

Database Conventions
To maximize usefulness of address information, a database should have the several data fields, including but not limited to:
Street Number (numerical/alphanumeric)Street NameStreet Name PrefixStreet Name SuffixUnit Number (residential apt. or condo)Suite Number (businesses)Address – combo of number, street, suffix, etc.City ZipZip + 2,4

Database Standards
Standardization of addressing syntax is critical for consistent search results and integration with other application databases.
Develop and adopt a master address database - from USPS or existing city databases – both of which requires QC by staff
Every field needs to be QC
