Hi Jason,

This is likely far superior to interpolation.  Looking forward to more discussion on how a high quality import might happen.  You can likely learn a lot by keeping track of the Seattle discussion

Best,

Hi,

I am not sure if anybody is actually working on importing the tiger address ranges or not. Just in case somebody is ... The Massachusetts mapping department (MassGIS) just this week released data for all of the buildings in the state!

http://www.mass.gov/anf/research-and-tech/it-serv-and-support/application-serv/office-of-geographic-information-massgis/datalayers/structures.html

MassGIS also has very good parcel data with addresses. I think we have at this point everything we need to do an address import into each building, rather than using address interpolation. For MA, using the state data instead of the tiger data would probably be better.

Jason.
