Address Range-Feature County-based Shapefile

 

Geocoding.  To get the best geocoding match results, the Address Range Feature Shapefile (tl_2013_stcty_addrfeat.shp) should be used to geocode addresses.  Address ranges in the may be separated into multiple address ranges on the same edge/road/street because of ZIP Code differences or to establish gaps created by address anomalies located elsewhere.  Some address ranges may also include embedded alphanumeric characters or hyphens that make them distinct from the other address ranges on the same edge side. The ADDRFEAT.shp contains all of the address range to edge and street name relationships for a county to increase the number of potential geocoding matches.  In comparison, the most inclusive address range in the All Line shapefile (EDGES.shp) can also be used for geocoding but a single pair of left- and right-side address ranges and the primary street name on the edge may not always provide complete address range coverage.
