Puerto Rican addresses within my data are truncated or abbreviated. Can SeekData still standardize and geocode these addresses?
Yes. Truncation is a very difficult problem because the Puerto Rican address parts are entered in no particular order along with inadequate spacing available on information forms. Thus, these truncation issues ensue. It cannot be assumed that the majority of the truncations will be to the urbanization. In fact, often the urbanization is the first part of the address. Even minor truncation can leave an address uncodeable. SeekData has designed data sets, complex algorithms and queries in order to successfully resolve this problem.
