I am trying to geocode addresses using the package "censusxy." An example of how I do this is:
address<-tibble(street="295 Cow Hill Road", city="Mystic", state="CT")
address_geo<-cxy_geocode(address, street="street", city="city", state="state", output="full")
One of the columns of address_geo is "cxy_quality." Does anyone know what is the full set of values this variable "cxy_quality" can take on? I have only seen it take on the value "Exact", but I am not sure if it takes on other values (e.g., semi-Exact)?
Converting solution from a comment to an answer:
cxy_quality
represents theTIGER MATCH TYPE
field outputted by the geocoding API, which is binary (Exact/Not Exact), per the Census Geocoder User Guide (pg. 31). Thecensuscy
package has also been archived at the request of the maintainer - I would recommend switching over to another package such astidygeocoder
