Description
Description: When GeoAnalytics Builder applies geocoding to your map data, it returns a quality level based on the information provided. These levels are:
Level 6: The best geocoding accuracy. Level 5: Add a street number. Level 4: Add a street name and street number. Level 3: Add a ZIP code, street name and street number. Level 2: Add a city, ZIP code, street name and street number. Level 1: Add a state, city, ZIP code, street name and street number. Level 0: Unable to geocode, provide a valid address.
Symptoms: Valid addresses are given a quality level 4 when it is expected that they would be given a level 6.
Cause: A practice that causes this issue is including "2nd address line" information, such as "Suite #" or "Apt #", in the
main street address field.
Issue/Introduction
Geocoding returns a low quality level when an address is valid.
Resolution
Remove the "2nd address line"
information, or move it to a different field, then try the geocoding again.
