The ArcGIS World Geocoding Service finds addresses and places in all supported countries around the world in a single geocoding service. The service can find point locations of addresses, cities, landmarks, business names, and other places. The output points can be visualized on a map, inserted as stops for a route, or loaded as input for a spatial analysis.The service is available as both a geosearch and geocoding service:Geosearch Services – The primary purpose of geosearch services is to locate a feature or point of interest and then have the map zoom to that location. The result might be displayed on the map, but the result is not stored in any way for later use. Requests of this type do not require a subscription or a credit fee. Geocoding Services – The primary purpose of geocoding services is to convert an address to an x,y coordinate and append the result to an existing record in a database. Mapping is not always involved, but placing the results on a map may be part of a workflow. Batch geocoding falls into this category. Geocoding requires a subscription. An ArcGIS Online Subscription, or ArcGIS Location Platform Subscription, will provide you access to the ArcGIS World Geocoding service for batch geocoding.The service can be used to find address and places for many countries around the world. For detailed information on this service, including a data coverage map, visit the ArcGIS World Geocoding service documentation.

Vermont composite geocoding service built with VT E911 data. This service can be used by ArcGIS Pro 2.8.x+ to batch geocode addresses stored in a table. It also can be used as a geocoder with most ArcGIS Online apps, as well as QGIS. [How To Use The Vermont Geocoding Service]This ArcGIS Online item utilizes the ArcGIS Server geocoding service at this REST Endpoint: https://maps.vcgi.vermont.gov/arcgis/rest/services/EGC_services/GCS_E911_COMPOSITE_SP_v2/GeocodeServer

This geocoding service provides the ability to perform tabular geocoding, reverse geocoding, and identifying results for locations that contain sub-addresses. This service and the supporting data are provided by the AddressNC program.A geocoding locator file is also available for users of ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Desktop in an offline/disconnected environment.

The address-matching process derives spatial data points from input tabular address data. This geocoding package is constructed using road centerline and address point data published by the NJ Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (NJOGIS.) The geocoder is refreshed monthly using updates of those datasets.For additional support or to download a copy of the geocoding package please visit https://njgin.nj.gov/njgin/edata/geocoding.The geocoder includes a multirole locator that references comprehensive statewide address point and road centerline datasets. These datasets are maintained and published by NJOGIS in cooperation with county and municipal GIS agencies. The data have been reprocessed from the published releases to accommodate optimization of the locators. The published source data can be found here: Address Points - https://njgin.nj.gov/njgin/edata/addresses; Road Centerlines - https://njgin.nj.gov/njgin/edata/roads

VT E911 Composite geocoder - uses ESITE, RDSNAME, and RDSRANGE. REFRESHED WEEKLY. VCGI, in collaboration with the VT E911 Board, has created a suite of geocoding services that can be used to batch geocode addresses using ArcGIS Desktop 10.x. This service can also be integrated into ESRI ArcGIS web-based mapping applications.Input Address Requirements Must use valid E911 addresses (street style addressing...no P.O. box addresses!) and E911 town names. Limitations Don't attempt to geocode more than 50000 records or so. You must have an Internet connection to use the services. A DSL, cable, or other high bandwidth connection is the best option.

Download In State Plane Projection Here. These address points were developed for a myriad of uses including general public geocoding in Lake County web sites and NG-911 emergency dispatch. All addresses are reviewed on a monthly basis against the United States Post Office delivery database to ensure that they are still active. New addresses are added at this time or earlier if they are made known to Lake County GIS by local data partners. Attributes DiscrpAgID through Elev reflect the NENA NG-911 / State of Illinois GIS Data model. Additional local data fields have also been included. The fields LSt_PreDir, LSt_Name, LSt_Type and LSt_PosDir are formatted according to United States Postal Service standards.Update Frequency:This dataset is updated on a weekly basis.

Street Centerlines 2013. A single line, segmented at all intersections (alley and others), representing each street in the District. They follow the general trend of the street and do not deviate due to parking lanes, turning lanes, etc. and contain address ranges for geocoding. The street GIS database includes five different street road types: street centerline, alley, drive, ramp and service road. This layer contains complete theoretical address ranges.

The Address Points dataset shows Utah address points for all twenty-nine Utah counties. An address point represents a geographic location that has been assigned a US Postal Service (USPS) address by the local address authority (i.e., county or municipality) but does not necessarily receive mail. Address points may include several pieces of information about the structure or location that’s being mapped, such as:the full address (i.e., the USPS mailing address, if the address is for a physical location [rather than a PO box]);the landmark name; whether the location is a building;the type of unit;the city and ZIP code; unique code identifiers of the specific geographic location, including the Federal Information Processing Standard Publication (FIPS) county code and the US National Grid (USNG) spatial address;the address source; andthe date that the address point was loaded into the map layer.This dataset is mapping grade; it is a framework layer that receives regular updates. As with all our datasets, the Utah Geospatial Resource Center (UGRC) works to ensure the quality and accuracy of our data to the best of our abilities. Maintaining the dataset is now an ongoing effort between UGRC, counties, and municipalities. Specifically, UGRC works with each county or municipality’s Master Address List (MAL) authority to continually improve the address point data. Counties have been placed on an update schedule depending on the rate of new development and change within them. Populous counties, such as Weber, Davis, Salt Lake, Utah, and Washington, are more complete and are updated monthly, while rural or less populous counties may be updated quarterly or every six months.The information in the Address Points dataset was originally compiled by Utah counties and municipalities and was aggregated by UGRC for the MAL grant initiative in 2012. The purpose of this initiative was to make sure that all state entities were using the same verified, accurate county and municipal address information. Since 2012, more data has been added to the Address Points GIS data and is used for geocoding, 911 response, and analysis and planning purposes. The Address Point data is also used as reference data for the api.mapserv.utah.gov geocoding endpoint, and you can find the address points in many web mapping applications. This dataset is updated monthly and can also be found at: https://gis.utah.gov/data/location/address-data/.

This is an exercise on the use of Postal Code Conversion Files (PCCF) with GIS. (Note: Data associated with this exercise is available on the DLI FTP site under folder 1873-299.)

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:RooftopPrimary Structure EntranceDrivewayParcel CentroidMiscellaneous

Street Centerline Segments 2005. A single line representing each street in the District, segmented at major blocks to preserve geocoding integrity. They follow the general trend of the street and do not deviate due to parking lanes, turning lanes, etc. and contain address ranges for geocoding. The street GIS database includes only the major road types: street centerline. This layer contains complete theoretical address ranges.

Roadway SubBlocks - Right of Way Information. A single line, segmented at all intersections (alley and others), representing each street in the District. They follow the general trend of the street and do not deviate due to parking lanes, turning lanes, etc. and contain address ranges for geocoding. The street GIS database includes five different street road types: street centerline, alley, drive, ramp and service road. All DC GIS data is stored and exported in Maryland State Plane coordinates NAD 83 meters. This layer contains complete theoretical address ranges.

Context

Address geocoding, or simply geocoding, is the process of taking a text-based description of a location, such as an address or the name of a place, and returning geographic coordinates, frequently latitude/longitude pair, to identify a location on the Earth's surface - Wikipedia

What is meant by geocoding in GIS? Geocoding is typically preceded by the data cleaning step of preprocessing and standardizing the format of the data. It is a crucial part of developing a GIS (Geographic Information Systems)

This dataset contains a list of 234 valid complete USA addresses that can be used to fetch geocode.

This dataset will come in very handy for testing purposes. Such as - testing performances of geocoding services or API

Content

This dataset comes with three files of the same content - text, CSV, and JSON for ease of use.

Each address has 4 components - - address string - city - state - zipcode

Example - "777 Brockton Avenue, Abington MA 2351"

AddressNC has been prioritized by the North Carolina Geographic Information Coordinating Council (GICC) as a critical framework dataset. The AddressNC Program runs parallel to and is derived from the North Carolina 911 Board Next Generation 911 (NG911) Program.  Address data has been identified as mission critical for validation and accurate call routing within NG911 and the AddressNC Program completes a full-circle approach of address maintenance and sustainability through applied enhancements and quality control beyond 911 requirements.  A primary goal of AddressNC is to continually develop and maintain quality address points on a continuous cycle through updates published in NG911. Various agencies in federal, state, and local government can benefit by applying practical applications of quality addressing in their own programs, negating the need to rely on outdated statewide addressing data and/or using paid address data sets from third party sources.

The VMTRoadInventory 2019 Is a version of the Road Inventory 2019 that contains Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) for the Road Inventory, in Massachusetts for the year 2019. The Road Inventory is a GIS-based asset management system for the state's highway transportation system. As such, its strengths are in describing the configuration and condition of public roads and rights-of-way. It is not designed to support route-finding (e.g., shortest path applications), nor is it designed to support geocoding (although in theory intersection-based geocoding could be set up on it). It is part of the official documentation of the state road system and is used to prepare the yearly Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) report to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). It is a record of centerline and lane miles, which are the basis of state reimbursements to localities for road maintenance expenses (Chapter 90 funds).
