Geocoding

Which of the following are the two data objects required for geocoding?

- A list of addresses that you want to locate on a map - A reference layer such as a street feature class that contains street names and address ranges, or a perhaps a feature class containing zip code boundaries

Which of the following types of tabular information can be geocoded to create points on a map?

- Public Land Survey System (PLSS) Locations - Zip Codes - Cities and Countries - Street Addresses

Consider the following street address: 1200 SW Greenville Blvd Which of the following address components does this address contain?

- Street Name - Address Number - Prefix Direction - Street Type

In the context of ArcGIS address locators, match scores indicate how accurately an address in the address list was located with respect to the reference layer. Which of the following is the score that indicates a perfect match?

100

The 400 block of Pinecrest Drive is 500 feet long. Approximately how many feet down the 400 corner of Pinecrest Drive would a geocoding operation place the address 440 Pinecrest Drive?

200

The output data for a geocoding operation is which of the following?

A POINT feature class

If you want to use your own reference data to do geocoding, you must create a/an _____________ that specifies the reference layer, ther relevant fields in the reference layer, and the geocoding style.

Address Locator

Suppose the ECU admissions office wants to map the student body by zip code. This cannot be done with a geocoding operation in ArcGIS since geocoding operations only work with street addresses.

False

When geocoding in ArcGIS, the software has full control of all matches; there is no way for you to interactively inspect partially matched or unmatched addresses to see if you can improve the match rate.

False

Taking street adresses from a text field in a table and converting them to a point locations on a map is called:

Geocoding

ArcGIS Online has a geocoding service that allows you to avoid having to create your own address locator for many situations.

True

The minimum match score is the lowest score that will constitute a match in a geocoding operation.

True

Suppose you have a polygon feature class that contains property parcels. Which of the following geocoding styles could you use to match addresses with the parcel center points (centroids) ?

US Single House

Suppose you have a street reference layer for Greenville that has from/to block address ranges for both sides of the street. Which of the following geocoding styles would you use with this reference layer?

US Streets, Dual Ranges

In the Greenville area, US Highway 264 is also called Stantonsburg Rd. In effect, a this street has two names in our area. How is this handled in an ArcGIS address locator?

You can prepare a primary table of street names and an alternate table of street names or nicknames
