Cityview - Urban Geocoding Pipeline

Project Overview

Built a production-grade geocoding pipeline capable of processing 100,000+ addresses for the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. The system includes address parsing, standardization, multi-provider geocoding with intelligent fallback, and quality scoring.

The pipeline was designed to handle messy real-world address data, achieving a 98%+ match rate through cascading provider strategies and fuzzy matching techniques.

Key Metrics

Technical Approach

Address Processing

• Address parsing and component extraction (street, city, state, zip)
• Standardization using USPS conventions
• Abbreviation expansion and normalization
• Duplicate detection and deduplication

Geocoding Strategy

• Primary provider with high-confidence threshold
• Secondary fallback for low-confidence results
• Tertiary provider for remaining unmatched addresses
• Quality scoring based on match type and confidence

Technologies Used

Deliverables

• Geocoded address database with coordinates and quality scores
• Address parsing and standardization pipeline
• QGIS project with visualized geocoding results
• Quality assurance report with match statistics
