What is Geocoding? Geocoding is term used to describe the act of address matching. Geocoding is the process of finding a geographic location (x, y point) for an address (such as street number and name, city, state, and ZIP Code) on a map. Geocoding is based off the typical address scheme for the US, in which one side of the street contains even house numbers while the other side of the street contains odd house numbers. The geocoding process uses an algorithm to find the geographic location of addresses. First, a street segment is identified using the zip code and street name. Next, the geographic location of the address is matched using the building number to determine how far down the street and on which side of the street the building is located. Geocoding Accuracy The locational accuracy of geocoded addresses may vary from urban to rural areas due to the algorithm used to generate the geographic locations of addresses. The algorithm assumes that the size of parcels are equivalent along a road route. This assumption tends to be more consistent in urban areas, where the size of parcels vary less than in rural areas. Consequently, the results of geocoded addresses in urban areas are usually more reliable than those in rural areas. For example, the locational accuracy of rural addresses can be slightly off because some parcels along a rural route may be 15 acres while others may be 2.5 acres, but the geocoding algorithm assumes that the addresses are distributed evenly along the route.

The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

GeoPlan Center Process Steps - September 2005 data collection: Community oriented facility locations were obtained from the online Yellow & Super Pages in 2005 (www.Yellowpages.com) + (www.Superpages.com). GeoPlan downloaded this data in text file format and converted it to a dbf. The dbf was then geocoded against ARC Logistics Route GDT Roads and converted into a shapefile with the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection. Process Steps for Super Pages FL Civic Center Locations: -Searched for community center addresses in http://www.superpages.com Selected community center addresses under following categories: Community & Civic Organizations (6032) Community Centers & Civic Organizations Special Interest (1218) Youth (764) Teen Clubs (5) Women's Organizations (82) Singles Organizations (33) Gay & Lesbian Organizations (27) Fraternal Organizations (981) Civic Clubs & Organizations (3) Process Steps for Yellow Pages Community Oriented Locations: -Searched for community oriented addresses in www.yellowpages.com -Selected community oriented addresses under following categories: Civic, Social, & Fraternal Associations - Alumni Associations (6) - Boys Club and Scouting Organizations (39) - Civic Associations (40) - Civic Social & Fraternal Associations (1221) - Community Membership Clubs (1) - Condominium Associations (981) - Dwelling-Related Associations (140) - Educators Associations (51) - Environmental Protection Organizations (160) - Fraternal Associations (708) - Fraternities & Sororities Associations (50) - Girls Club and Scouting Organizations (75) - Homeowners Associations (791) - Neighborhood Associations (17) - Social Associations (145) - Tenant Associations (5) - Veterans Organizations (483) - Youth Organizations (562) Social Services Individual & Family Social Services - Community Centers (315) Miscellaneous Membership Organizations -Art Council (112) - Automobile Owners Associations (59) - Membership Organizations (199) - Reading Rooms & Other Cultural Organizations (106) - Women's Organizations & Services (17) -All addresses from sections above were copied and pasted into a text file, which was then formatted so that it could be imported into Excel and converted to a database file format. Process Steps for Yellow Pages data: -The addresses were geocoded against ARC Logistics Route GDT Roads Shapefile created using FGDL Albers HPGN map projection (See "Map Projection Parameters" below). (A5) Some Information from the 2004 geocoded data set was retained; this data was retained for three reasons: 1. The Yellow Pages and Super Pages Online are paid advertising sites, some facilities may wish to discontinue their advertising with those companies but they may still exist at that address/location (i.e. Churches etc). 2. The address might have changed slightly (i.e. suite number, building number, or zip code) which may have affected the addresses ability to be geocoded with the 2005 GDT roads dataset. 3. The facility no longer exists. Because facilities in reasons one and two may still exist in the real world all the 2004 geocoded features that were not reproduced in the 2005 geocode update were re-geocoded against the 2005 GDT roads dataset. These facilities were then added to the 2005 geocoded dataset. Facilities that are part of this scenario are represented with a value of 'NIN' (Not In New) in the field called FLAG. -Added DESCRIPT field based on NAME -Socio-Cultural Effect data fields and definitions were added. FLAG, UPDATE_DAY, AUTOID, NAME, ADDRESS, CITY, OPERATING, OP_CLASS, HOURS, SPECIAL, YR_BUILT, COMMON_USE, USE, FGDLAQDATE. -For facilities that previously existed the permanent auto identification number [auto id] was carried over from the 2004 SCE base data to the 2005 SCE updates. For new facilities autoids were created. -Total records = 8299 Process Date: 20050901 GeoPlan Center Process Steps - May 2008 data collection: Community oriented facility locations were obtained from the online Yellow & Super Pages in 2008 (www.Yellowpages.com) + (www.Superpages.com). GeoPlan downloaded this data in text file format and converted it to a dbf. The dbf was then geocoded against ARC Logistics Route GDT Roads and converted into a shapefile with the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection.

For new facilities autoids were created. Process Date: 20080919 Data imported to ArcSDE and exported as a shapefile. Process Date: 20081020 The GeoPlan Center performed the following steps in order to create the December 2013 statewide community center data layer. GeoPlan updated the gc_communitycenter_sep08 layer using data collected from the following online websites: Yellow Pages Online, Super Pages Online, Fraternal Order of Eagles, The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, The Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Florida, Moose International, Lions Clubs International, Fraternal Order of Orioles, Boys and Girls Clubs, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Florida, American Red Cross, Association of Junior Leagues International, YMCA, City and County websites for cities and counties within the State of Florida. Some facilities that have been opened since the last update were manually added. All new community centers were standardized and converted to a dbf. The dbf was then geocoded using a statewide 2010 NAVTEQ street dataset and converted into a shapefile with the FGDL Albers HARN map projection. Each record in the layer was scrutinized and verified to be in its proper location. Verified facilities were moved from street center lines to buildings using ESRI satellite imagery (http://services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/services/ World_Imagery), Google Maps, and Florida statewide tax parcel boundaries as references. Facilities no longer deemed operational were removed from the layer. Some minor table restructuring was done to reflect the current table syntax used by GeoPlan. Process Date: 20131204 The GeoPlan Center performed the following steps in order to create the February 2015 statewide community center data layer. Using County, City, and Private Organization's Websites, GeoPlan located and mapped missing community centers using imagery and 2012-2014 parcel date for the State of Florida. Community center locations were checked using imagery and Google Street View and either marked as Verified or Not Verified in the FLAG field, please see the FLAG field Attribute Definition for more information. During the Spatial and Tabular QAQC duplicates and non-qualified points were removed. The final Point layer was spatially joined to the 2014 statewide parcel layer, and the GCID field was populated with a crosswalk ID linking each point feature with it's corresponding polygon layer feature. Next GeoPlan Center performed the following attribute table adjustments. -Socio-Cultural Effect data fields were updated. -Upper cased all records. -Added DESCRIPT field based on NAME. -Added FGDLAQDATE field and populated it. -Updated metadata to reflect point layer information.
