Let me pose something to help clarify what we're talking about when we say, "importing addresses"<br>First, are we talking about <br>1) Address *ranges*, which are linear features and apply to streets/roads? TIGER has address ranges, useful for interpolation. But TIGER does not contain individual addresses.<br>

2) Individual addresses? Points, if you will, associated with buildings, landmarks, postal addresses. These are more likely to come from state/local data sources.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, individual address points. The topic of this thread was to collect the location of address point data wherever we can find it. We should be talking to state/county/local GIS people to gather this data (thus the spreadsheet).<br>
