Site Analysis API & Address Coding
Site analysis tools are computer-based operations that enable the user to examine demographic, economic and other characteristics of elemental geographies (such as block groups) as a group or composite. Typically, the group of elemental areas is defined by a circle or a radius value in miles from an address or location of interest ... a site with a 1-mile or a 3-mile radius. Site analysis applications are focused on addresses/locations of interest. This section reviews use of the CV XE GIS Site Analysis tools for geocoding addresses and integrating those geocoded address into GIS applications. This is an enabling or first step in many GIS-based site analysis applications. See more about the Site Analysis API that includes features reviewed here. Address Geocoding with Site Analysis API With CV XE GIS (5/18/14 or later version) running and your User Group ID entered in Settings, start the Site Analysis operation from the menu: Analytics>SiteAnalysis. The Site Analysis API (Application Programming Interface) makes use of API technologies to geocode addresses and assign Web-sourced demographic-economic attributes. On the SiteAnalysis form, the address coding operations are located in Tools>Find Address and Tools CodeAddresses. Operations reviewed here may be performed using the no fee CV XE GIS. The map views in the this section show median household income by block group in the Kansas City area. • Find Address • CodeAddresses Find Address The Find Address operation enables you to enter an address that is then geocoded. The geocoded result is assigned a demographic-economic value selected by the user. In the following example, the user selects the ACS 2012 5 year median household income item. The geocoded result is converted into a shapefile, for optional permanent reuse, and also added to the existing GIS project. 1. Upon clicking the Tools>Find Address button, the address prompt appears. This view shows the default address, but you can use any address. Click OK when ready for next step. 2. The next prompt is for the ACS 2012 5 year subject matter item to assign to this address. This view shows the default "item name", but you can use any ACS 2012 5 year item available at the block group level. The default item is "B19013_001E" (ACS 2012 5 year median household income). See list of available tables. Click OK when ready for next step. 3. The next prompt is for a second address. You can continue adding addresses manually. When done enter a null address as shown here. Click OK when ready for next step. 4. A shapefile is now automatically developed and added to the GIS project. A default file name is used which you can change. You can choose to use the default file name and overwrite/reuse this name. The shapefile marker(s) are displayed in the map window. The identify tool is used to click on the marker (red square marker) and display a mini-profile. In the profile, the Census 2010 census block code is shown as a field in the shapefile dbf. This address is in Census 2010 census block 29-095-006600-2016. The address is located in a block group with ACS 2012 5 year median household income estimate of $44,943 as shown for the field "item1" in the profile.  CodeAddresses The CodeAddresses operation is similar to the Find Address operation. Rather than entering addresses manually, addresses are input from a file that you create. As with Find Address, the geocoded results are assigned a demographic-economic value selected by the user. In the following example, the user selects the ACS 2012 5 year median household income item. Like Find Address, the geocoded results are converted into a shapefile, for optional permanent reuse, and also added to the existing GIS project. 1. Upon clicking the Tools>CodeAddresses button, the address input file name appears. See more about the address input file structure. This view shows the existing default input file, but you can develop your own with a text editor. The default addresses input file contains addresses for Starbucks Coffee in the Kansas City area. Click OK when ready for next step. 2. As with Find Address, the next prompt is for the ACS 2012 5 year subject matter item to assign to this address. This view shows the default "item name", but you can use any ACS 2012 5 year item available at the block group level. The default item is "B19013_001E" (ACS 2012 5 year median household income). Click OK when ready for next step. 3. The next prompt enables you to code the first set of addresses in the file (enter the number) or all addresses (All). Processing now proceeds. The record number being processed is shown in the statusbar (lower left corner of window). 4. A shapefile is now automatically developed and added to the GIS project. The shapefile markers are displayed in the map window. Note that the new added address shapefile shows at the top of the legend panel. This is structurally the same shapefile/view as conveyed by the "Locations" layer. Address File Structure The input address file is a comma-delimited/CSV structured file. Include one record per address. Each address record should contain 5 fields: name/ID, address (e.g., 1100 Main St), city, state postal abbreviation, and 5-digit ZIP code. The sample file provided includes the Starbucks Coffee locations in the Kansas City area. These data are shown in the scroll box below. Sample Address File
