1 Paper 332-2010 PROC geocode : Now with Street-Level Geocoding Darrell Massengill and Ed Odom, SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC ABSTRACT How do you convert your address data into map locations? This is done through the process of Geocoding . SAS/GRAPH software included PROC geocode to simplify this process for you. By popular demand, the third maintenance release of SAS will add Street-Level Geocoding . Street-Level Geocoding converts street addresses to locations. This paper will review the current capability of this procedure and cover the new Street-Level Geocoding capability. INTRODUCTION Every business or organization has a lot of data that includes an address. The address data is useful only if it is transformed into location information that can be viewed on a map, used in distance calculations, or processed in other similar ways.
3 ZIP Code data will get you to the general vicinity of the address, but probably not to the actual street . ZIP+4 data will probably get you to the correct street in the address, but not to the actual house location.
