[Talk-us-massachusetts] Easy to read address list for your town

[Alan & Ruth Bragg]

I downloaded the address list for Bedford and Malden from
https://docs.digital.mass.gov/dataset/massgis-data-master-address-data-basic-address-list

I opened them in LibreOffice Calc and looked at the status code for each
address.

Most had a status code of Active or Modified and should be imported.
I think we should think hard about the other status codes.

Active: Bedford  6112, Malden 16,798
Modified Bedford 0, Malden 145

Inactive: Bedford 43, Malden 12
Unassigned Bedford 73, Malden 535
Site Review: Bedford 24, Malden 4
Review: Bedford 143, Malden 109
Not Found: Bedford 2, Malden 61

Code Definitions

Active: Address is assigned to an address point.

INACTIVE: Address is obsolete.

UNASSIGNED: Address not yet assigned to an address point.

SITE_REVIEW: Address belongs to a site and requires review before becoming
ACTIVE as the address can probably be further disaggregated to the building
level.

REVIEW: Address requires review before becoming active (for any reasons
other than site disaggregation).

NOT_FOUND: Address underwent review and a geographic location for it could
not be found.

GEOCODED: Address temporarily assigned to a geocoded point; still requires
review to try to find a structure-based point instead.

PARENT: Address record is temporary and represents an aggregation of other
unit-specific addresses. This record's MASTER_ADDRESS_ID is equal to its
PARENT_ADDRESS_ID.

DCAM_REVIEW: Address record belongs to a state-owned property and requires
review (preferably by DCAMM) before becoming active.

MODIFIED: This address record is active and had one or more address
component fields edited during FDC/local review.

ADDED: This address record represents an address that was added as a new or
missing address identified during FDC.  It should not have an address point
ID.

UNLINKED: The address point ID previously associated with this address
record was removed during FDC/local review (but edit may have been
overridden).

LINKED: This address is active and was associated with a non-geocoded
address point during FDC/local review.
