Using MapObjects To Link United States Postal Service Address Data to Assessor's Parcel Data
Gregory A. NewkirkSteve Long
This paper discusses techniques used in linking United States Postal Service (USPS) address data with the Clark County Assessor's GIS parcel data within the City of Vancouver, Washington. Data from these two sources were imported into Microsoft Access, where a one-to-many relate was established using fields common to both data sets. This resulted in 50,000 matched USPS records. To assist in linking the remaining 30,000 unmatched USPS addresses to the Assessor's GIS parcel data, a MapObjects application was developed.
