Street NoNum and ZipCode Composite

Street_NoNum_and_ZipCode_Composite uses the NYS Streets and Zipcode boundaries to return a match within the street segment. Any address that does not successfully geocode to the first composite can then be run through the second composite locator (Street_NoNum_and_ZipCode_Composite). Recognizing that hits from this locator will not be spatially accurate. This composite locator is made up of the following locators.

Locator NameSource DataDescription4A_SS_NoNum_ZipNameNYS Street SegmentsNYS Street Segments dataset using the postal zip code name for the City name in the locator. The location is placed on a street segment with the matching name. Please note this may or may not be the correct street segment.4B_SS_NoNum_CTNameNYS Street SegmentsNYS Street Segments dataset using the city or town name is used for the city name in the locator. The location is placed on a street segment with the matching name. Please note this may or may not be the correct street segment.4C_SS_NoNum_PlaceNameNYS Street SegmentsNYS Street Segments dataset using the alternate place name is used for the city name in the locator. This field is populated using the NYS Villages and Indian Reservations, the Census Designated Places and Alternate Acceptable Zip Code Names from the USPS. These areas do not exist everywhere so there will be a limited number of segments with this attribute. The location is placed on a street segment with the matching name. Please note this may or may not be the correct street segment.5_ZipCodePtsZip Code boundariesPoint placed at the centroid of the Zip Code boundaries.

 

Currently, the geocoding service will return all of the results when using the Find Tool within ArcGIS. The user will then be responsible for choosing which of the results they want to keep. The SAM Address Points are the most accurate data available and should be picked anytime a result is returned from one of the SAM address point locators. If the geocoding service is used in the ESRI batch tool, the locator will return a Match from the first locator it comes to in the cascading order. If there are multiple locators with the same score or within the same locator the first result is returned and it is coded as a Tie.

The locators will output a field named 'User_fld' which should be used in conjunction with the Loc_Name field. When the Loc_Name field contains one of the Address Point locators (1A, 1B or 1C) this field will contain either a 1,2,3,4 or a 5. When the Loc_Name field contains anything other than the Address Point locators, the 'User_fld' will either be NULL or "0". The numeric values correspond with the type of Address Point that was located:

1. Rooftop
2. Primary Structure Entrance
3. Driveway
4. Parcel Centroid
5. Miscellaneous
