Parse Street Information

The Street Address Parsing task allows you to select multiple street addresses and isolate street elements. A street address does not include city, province/state or postal/zip code data. To parse elements of these types use Address Parsing.

Street Elements That Can Be Isolated:

  • Civic Number - Street number
  • Civic Suffix - e.g. 1/2 or A
  • Street Name
  • Street Type
  • Street Direction
  • Urban Unit Designator - Suite or Apt.
  • Rural Unit Designator - Site or Lot
  • Unit Identifier
  • Route Designator - RR or SS
  • Route Identifier
  • Installation Designator - Postal station type
  • Installation Identifier - 1 or A
  • Installation Area Name - Main or Clarkson
  • PO Box Designator

  • GD Identifier - General delivery

Select only the items that you would like to isolate.
